Meet the Tui. This bird is found throughout NZ and has a loud distinctive song which really draws attention to itself. Unfortunately, it also has a habit of mimicking other birds and so identifying it can be a little challenging. However, as it has a fairly distinctive appearance, visual recognition is less of a problem.
You just don't want two of them in the tree next to your camper van at 6 in the morning!

Like corncrakes in Iona!
