Bush Birds
T)EAR ANNE SHIRLEY,—In the morning the tui sings its morning,song and the bellbird joins in the chorus. You will often find two or three tuis chasing each other. A tui is a blueisb-green with .a white plume on its throat. The bellbird is a dark shiiy green. You don't see ninny bellbirds but they like the honey in the lucerne flowers The tui likes to suck the honey from the Has flowers. Sometimes they play on the wineberry and then they tty away in the bush.— From Joy Yates (8), Te Awanmtu.
