1. Title: "The Enchanting Transformation: A Young and Adult Tui from New Zealand" This artwork by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans, featured in Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand" (Volume 1, Plate 10, 1888), showcases the striking transformation of the Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) from a young bird to an adult. The Tui is a native bird species endemic to New Zealand, belonging to the Meliphagidae family, order Passeriformes, and the class Sauropsida. In this exquisite watercolor painting, we witness the youthful Tui on the left, displaying a speckled plumage with a distinct white patch on its underparts. Its beak is shorter and less curved compared to the adult's. The adult Tui on the right is a sight to behold, with its iridescent, glossy black plumage, long, decurved beak, and distinctive white feathers on its throat forming a collar. The adult's eyes are bright and alert, reflecting its intelligence and curiosity. The Tui is known for its unique and melodic song, which can be heard throughout New Zealand forests. Its long, curved beak is adapted for nectar feeding, making it an essential pollinator in the ecosystem. The Tui's ability to mimic various sounds, including other bird species and human voices, adds to its charm and fascination. This historical illustration not only captures the physical transformation of the Tui but also highlights the intricate details and beauty of this remarkable New Zealand native bird. Keulemans' masterful use of watercolors brings the Tui to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique features and the importance of its role in the country's natural history.
