To-do list for Tui (bird):	edit · history · watch · refresh
Add inline references and cite more sources Expand article in general (see Kakapo for an excellent New Zealand bird article). Especially need more material on tui in Maori culture and more on their reproduction. Add further media, especially vocalizations

[edit] Media

It would be great to have an audio recording of the tui song as it's so distinctive. Audio of the bird in flight would also be good, and more images (especially of high encyclopedic value such as mating displays, territorial behavior, nestlings etc) are always welcome.

I should be able to do this once I start my research in the spring. There should be a recorder around the university somewhere , but I'll need help changing the file into a Wikipedia compliant one. Sabine's Sunbird talk 01:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I've used Audacity to convert standard sound files (e.g. mp3, wav) to ogg, though I'm not sure what raw format they would be recorded in. Richard001 02:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
