The bellbird is a musical wonder. It produces the sound of a thousand tiny whistles and flutes, which Captain Cook described as sounding like “small bells exquisitely tuned”. And they know it, as they often sing solo during the day.

So, I’m backing the bellbird because, if I were a bird, that’s who I’d be; he’s always singing, seems pretty mellow and never asks for too much attention. He sings for the joy of it, and can inspire us to be thankful for what we have, and to take the time to be joyful in what we do. #korimako2019!!
