About These Birds
New Zealand Pigeon
New Zealand Pigeon / Kereru (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae), 51 cm. Large and robust; iridescent green-and-bronze upperparts, white underparts. Endemic to New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands. Inhabits native forest. Sole disperser of large-seeded native trees (e.g. karaka, miro). Frugivore. Least Concern but protected.
Enggano Cuckoo-Dove
Slender cuckoo-dove, 32–35 cm, uniform warm cinnamon-rufous with minimal barring and a relatively short tail. Restricted to Enggano Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra. Inhabits dense lowland forest. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to extremely small range and ongoing forest loss on the island.
