ATTRACTING TUIS
HOW TO BRING THE BIRD ROUND THE HOME Plant yellow kowhai and red gum, if you would have the tui come. This is the gist of some advice to landowners by a writer in the New Zealand Railways Magazine. "Every landowner can spare a little. ground" for a tree. If he "talces some pains to grow plants of food value, in berries and nectar, he will often be rewarded with bird song and the lovely sight of the bush creatures flitting about his groves. The tui especially will travel a long way for the food it lilces. It seems only fair to these sweet singers and other native birds that we should make some. recompense for the destruction of their natural foraging grounds — ^the ancient forests — by providing for them nooks ^ of fruitfulness in the settled lands and in the gardens on the outskits of the towns."
