One Tui!

The Tui is a very melodic song bird that looks beautiful, as it has iridescent plumage that changes with the light, and great wattles under its beak. It's song is lovely to hear, even in the middle of the night, but it has a dark side: monstering and sometimes killing other birds. They are very busy at this time of year.

My curiosity is piqued. How did you know it was a young female?

I was thinking of asking the same question!!! How can you tell the difference between a M/F frog??

At least amongst Australasian Tree Frogs, it is only the males that call. In species where there is no obvious sexual dimorphism, therefore, the males have a more pronounced throat pouch.

Here for example is a male Green Tree Frog with a large pouch:

And a female without a pouch:

Of course some species show clear sexual dimorphism where the males and females look quite different. You will see an example of that in the image that I'm about to post
