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.
