Yellowhead/Mōhua - Tourmaline Annie Smits Sandano With its gnarled branchesThe Yellowhead is a small bird that early settlers called the bush canary because of its colour and loud, melodious song. Today it often goes by its Mori name Mhua. Once abundant in nature, its beautiful song used to boom through New Zealand's native forests. Unfortunately, deforestation and the introduction of predators has meant these beautiful birds are now only found in a few isolated beech forests. Dimensions (approx.): L 15cm W 17cm D 9cm Cast
