New Zealand Woodpigeon (2/14)

List item
Approved

Also known as the “Kereru”.

Biggest pigeon in the world. They are protected and are illegal to eat or kill.

Maoris used to hunt and eat them. Some still do illegally.

They are a lovely bird and I saw 4 in an Auckland street once. They are special birds.They deserve to be protected.
