When I was growing up in Wellington in the 70s and 80s I saw about one tui a summer. Usually perched on the flax flowers near our letter box early in the morning.
Now if I walk to work I see at least five tui. When I walk around the block to creche I normally see one.
This is almost entirely because the Wellington Regional Council has been reducing the number of possums in Wellington.
Every time I see a tui they have my heartfelt thanks.
