Looking for tweets for tui.
reesetee The name Tui is from the Maori language name tūī, which is the species' formal common name. The English name, which has fallen into disuse, was "Parson Bird," describing the dark feathers of the bird, its small tuft of white feathers at the neck, and the small white wing patch--which namers took to resemble religious attire.

chained_bear "If the researchers manage to put the huia's genome back together, they would insert the genes into artificial chromosomes, then inject the packaged DNA into the egg of a surrogate. That might be a magpie or a blackbird, or perhaps native New Zealand birds such as the tui or the kokako. She also hopes someday to bring back the moas, flightless birds that appear to have been hunted into extinction about 600 years ago."
