Kereru
The Kereru, also known as the New Zealand pigeon, is a large bird native to New Zealand. It is known for its striking green and white plumage, as well as its distinctive cooing call. The Kereru plays a vital role in the ecosystem by dispersing seeds from the fruits it eats, helping to maintain the health of native forests.
Kereru are primarily found in forested areas and are known for their strong flying abilities, despite their size. They are a protected species, and conservation efforts are in place to ensure their survival, as their population has been affected by habitat loss and introduced predators.
