Description: Titipounamu, the Rifleman. New Zealand endemic bird.
New Zealand Birds | Birds | Gallery | Rifleman, Acanthisitta chloris To be able to hear the very high pitched cricket–like call of Titipounamu, the rifleman, is a real test of one’s hearing. Indeed many older people never hear them at all as the birds work their way about the bush, gleaning their food from small crevices and epiphytic mosses and lichens on the trunks and branches of trees. However, to hear Titipounamu, the rifleman, the very smallest of our endemic birds, one must trek into the bush for they do not venture near settled areas. So, having trekked into the local bush recently, I must have spent a good hour watching a pair of riflemen, totally rapt in their behaviour, while my friends went in search of other species.
