Like the Tui we also have a unique song, expressed in our special abilities and gifts qualities.

Tui is a common New Zealand song bird. It has a beautiful song unique to each bird and in spite of its smaller size holds it ground against much larger birds. The Tui reminds us that we too have unique gifts and that it is our challenge to bring these out for the welfare of all.
