EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Steffen & Alexandra Sailer, we witness the majestic New Zealand Pigeon, also known as Kereru, indulging in a delectable feast high up in the trees. This endemic bird species showcases its vibrant plumage while perched gracefully amidst the lush greenery of Westland National Park. With its Maori name "Kereru" this feathered friend holds an important role as one of nature's top seed distributors within the forest ecosystem. As it dines on succulent berries, our avian protagonist unknowingly spreads seeds far and wide, ensuring the growth and diversity of plant life throughout New Zealand. The South Island provides a picturesque backdrop for this charming scene. Nestled within Australasia's Oceania region, these islands boast breathtaking landscapes that serve as havens for unique wildlife like our berry-loving pigeon. As we admire this single Kereru enjoying its mealtime moment, let us appreciate not only its beauty but also acknowledge the vital ecological role it plays. So next time you stumble upon a juicy berry in Westland National Park or any other national park across New Zealand, remember to thank our delightful distributor – the Kereru!
