Is the pigeon native to New Zealand?
The Kereru (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) is New Zealand's native pigeon.addn. They are rather conspicuous in the forest as they must be considered as marginal flyers, and the whirring of their wings is attention getting.When in season they feed on berries of the Miro tree - a berry about the size of an English acorn, and they over feed to the extent that they cannot gain height in flight! A beautiful bird.

Kereru are widespread throughout New Zealand including the Chathams, with some subspecies. They are still on the Kermadec Islands, and in the past were also on Norfolk Island. They are mainly a lowland bird, and have a distinct loud whirring of their wings in flight. Well known to over feed on the miro berries, to the point of barely being able to maintain flight altitude!
Are kereru endangered?
In 2008 the threat rating for kereru was changed to "not threatened" (previously was "gradual decline"). It is still illegal to hunt or hurt them though. The reason the status was changed was because good pest control (stoats, possums, and rats) in some areas has increased the number of kereru. In other areas, where pest control is not so good, the number of kereru is still getting smaller and there is still a possibility that they become extinct in these places - unless people start reducing the pest numbers. Over all of New Zealand the number of kereru is probably not increasing or decreasing.
