To fill the gap and encourage the tuis to come closer to the house, I've installed a honeyeater feeder in the magnolia outside my study window. I found the feeder in the shop on Tiritiri Matangi and it has holes shaped to the tui's beak in the red base. An upcycled water bottle, two coathangers and a bit of wire has completed the kit.
Apparently it might take the birds up to three months to find the sugar water so I'll have to be patient.
