New Zealand's native wood pigeon, also known as Kereru, kūkū and kūkupa, is New Zealand’s only disperser of large fruits, such as those of karaka and taraire. The noisy beat of its wings is a distinctive sound in our forests. This one is visiting Kauri Villas.  

Wise bird!

The North Island Kaka can be found in good numbers on some offshore islands, especially Little and Great Barrier islands and Kapiti Island. Rarer on the mainland, here is one that regularly visits Kauri Villas, and is always welcome.

One of the most beautiful places in the world to fly.
