The Kererū is known affectionately as the world’s most beautiful pigeon. It is a large bird and familiar in most parts of the country along with the distinctive sound of it’s wings beating in ight. As one of the larger avifauna species it is an important frugivore helping to distribute the seeds of large stoned fruits such as kōpī - the fruit of the karaka tree (Corynocarpus laevigatus), tawa (Beilschmiedia tawa), taraire (Beilschmiedia taraire) and pūriri (Vitex lucens); whose fermenting fruit causes intoxicated behaviour in the animal to the surprise and amusement of many.
