  • Great to see so many enjoying Woof-Woof

    From his Keeper.Robert.

  • hi Robert - i was at the recovery centre about ?14 years ago and there was a talking bird at the centre, but I remember it as a starling (it talked and coughed). Am I correct or was it this tui?

  • Hi The bird you saw about 14 yrs ago was a starling and he did say "Hows your cold" and cough as well. Woof Woof the talking Tui has come along since then, hes' now about 12 yrs old and he has an even bigger reange of phrases as you have seen on the video.

  • everything from new zealand wins.

  • Someone should play the audio of a lightsaber fight near this bird for a few weeks. God, that would make things interesting.
