A bellbird is a small bird species native to New Zealand, known for its distinctive and melodic song. With its vibrant green plumage and a touch of blue on its head and back, the bellbird is a visually captivating creature. It inhabits forested habitats throughout the country, including native forests and regenerating shrublands. The male bellbird's song is a delightful combination of rich notes and clear bell-like tones, often heard during the breeding season to attract a mate and establish its territory.
