Default NZ Christmas tree & birds?

Cynthia,
Being an ex-Kiwi, I can tell you the Pohutukawa trees certainly attract bees
and are prolific nectar producers - so much that you can buy Pohutukawa
honey.

Therefore I'd expect local nectar feeding insects and bird would be
interested.

Cheers,
Geoff

Does anyone know if NZ Christmas Trees are beneficial to wildlife in NSW?

I purchased one recently, but there was no mention on the information tag
about whether or not the plant attracts birds etc.
