Cuddling wax-eyes/tauhou
It's hard to pick what to show you guys next - there are over sixty species in the Hutt alone to get through so buckle-up. Wax-eyes, aka silvereyes or tauhou - I can guarantee that most people's gardens, if you have trees, will have some of these cuties. The pairs are very affectionate with each other and build little cup-shaped nests in the hedges - we have a couple of nests in our camellia trees at the moment. They make lovely squeaky chirping noises. They're also a great bird to practice on if you are taking up bird photography. These two are just from my garden in Woburn.
