Miromiro live throughout Aotearoa – from Te Tai Tokerau Northland to Rakiura Stewart Island. They're curious little birds and the males have striking black, yellow and white plumage.
Another name for miromiro is 'torotoro', which means 'spy' or 'scout' and refers to the way the birds suddenly appear in the forest as if from nowhere like spies. Miromiro are attracted to us humans as we mix up soil and disturb insects for them to feed on.
