While on Tiritiri Matangi, I was amazed at how plentiful the tieke (saddle backs) were. Having never seen one before in my entire life, it was such a treat to see one, let alone in the wild. They would hang out in little whanau clusters, cheeky and nosy, chattering like Woody Wood pecker. It was interesting to find out that tieke mate for life, you usually don't associate that with birds.
