They have no close relatives except the stitchbird, and their more distant relationships are likewise still unknown.

The Stitchbird also supplements its diet with small insects.

The Stitchbird nests in holes high up in old trees.

The only close relative to the family is the stitchbird; their taxonomic relationships to other birds remain to be determined.

The Stitchbird is a small honeyeater-like bird.

In 2007 a new passerine family was erected to contain the Stitchbird, the Notiomystidae.

New Zealand Wattlebirds have no close relatives apart from the Stitchbird, and their taxonomic relationships to other birds remain to be determined.

Family N.N.: Stitchbird.

The Stitchbird was originally described as a member of the primarily Australian and New Guinean honeyeater family Meliphagidae.

The genus Notiomystis (New Zealand Stitchbird), has recently been removed to the new Notiomystidae of which it is the only member.

Endangered native species introduced or reintroduced as part of the ongoing island restoration project include the little spotted kiwi, takahē, tieke, kokako, stitchbird and brown teal.

It also a bird sanctuary, with rare birds, including saddleback, takahē, parakeet, North Island robin, kōkako, whitehead, little spotted kiwi, stitchbird and brown teal.

Their main food is nectar, but the Stitchbird's diet covers over twenty species of native flowers and thirty species of fruit and many species of introduced plants.

The Stitchbird or Hihi (Notiomystis cincta) is a rare honeyeater-like bird endemic to the North Island and adjacent offshore islands of New Zealand.

During copulation, the female moves her tail to the side and the male either mounts the female from behind or in front (as in the stitchbird), or moves very close to her.

The Stitchbird was relatively common early in the European colonisation of New Zealand, and began to decline relatively quickly afterwards, being extinct on the mainland and many offshore islands by 1885.

His ornithological collecting has been subsequently criticised for such reckless actions as shooting 150 specimens of the rare Stitchbird on Little Barrier Island at a time when it had become extinct everywhere else.

The Stitchbird rarely lands on the ground and seldom visits flowers on the large canopy trees favoured by the tui and bellbird (this may simply be because of the competition from the more aggressive, larger birds).

Several taxa turned out to represent highly distinct species-poor lineages and consequently new families had to be established, some of them - like the Stitchbird of New Zealand and the Eurasian Bearded Reedling - monotypic with only one living species.

In 2005, 60 Stitchbirds were released in the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary near Wellington and in October that year, three Stitchbird chicks hatched there, the first time for more than 120 years that a Stitchbird chick had been born on mainland New Zealand.

Te Hihi managed to stop Hongi Hika from destroying his relatives by presenting the warrior with a fine old mere (greenstone weapon).

Though defeated by Geki BatFire, an enraged Hihi assumes a stronger Dorinki-powered form as a result, wounding the Gekirangers.

Because Maku infused him with his Dorinki, Hihi can maintain his Beast-Man form as if he is a living Beast-Man.

Two public primary schools are located in karaka, Karaka School and Te Hihi School, as well as one private coeducational secondary school, Strathallan.

Butler Point Whaling Museum is located at Hihi, near Mangonui in New Zealand's Doubtless Bay, a centre for whaling fleets in the 1820s-1850s.

Though saddened to see Rio reduced to serving Maku, she is assured by Long that Rio would be back on top, having her follow Hihi to understand the meaning behind it.

When one of his men is converted into an Apeman by Hihi Zuno, Arashi tracks down the Zuno Beast and uses him to commit crimes before Yusuke battles Arashi in a fist fight prior to Oblar's interference.

They had a famous chief, named Hihi, a real Vercingetorix, so that you need not be astonished that the war with the English has become chronic in the Northern Island, for in it is the famous tribe of the Waikatos, who defend their lands under the leadership of William Thompson."

This leads to Hihi crippling Geki Tohja by focusing his rage on the right leg, injuring Ran to the point of losing concentration as Geki Wolf arrives to the team's aid, forming Geki Tohja Wolf to destroy Hihi.
