They are quite shy and sound a bit like a helicopter blade rotating when they fly overhead. Really!
This is a New Zealand wood pigeon. Its Maori name is Kereku and can weigh up to 650g (1.4 lb).

Handsome bird. A lot different from our European Wood Pigeon.
Pigeons are not really my favourite birds, but that one looks very beautiful! :)
Have a lovely Wednesday!
I've never seen a bird quite like this one! Thanks for sharing.
A lovely bird, not like our UK wood Pigeon.
Beautiful and unique birds. Never seen one like it. Are they shy and hard to photograph?

WOW that's a beaut! Quite the dandy. Decided to join your linky today! YAM xx
What a colorful pidgeon - much prettier than those in the US
That's a pretty bird - nothing like ours
Venice is full of pigeons but the grey ones... Nothing as colorful as yours!
It's a so lovely pigeon, this Kereku .... I'm happy to see this bird. Our pigeons have mostly grey sometimes white feathers.
I will now join your site 😊
This pigeon is so much more colorful and interesting than the ones we have here!
Pigeons in Canada are not all that pretty but yours are nice.
Great colors; its Maori name souns like it was named for the sound it makes.
We're pretty much cold and frozen with white snow!
This may be the prettiest pigeon I've ever seen!
Our world isn't as lush and green as yours!
I didn't know there are so colorful pidgeons! This one looks very nice!
Have a nice day!
well there you go. We have pigeons over here but as they are introduced they are pests. Although we do have a native spinifex pigeon.
Have a great week.
Kereru? Pretty native name. She's beautiful. I wonder how it goes like a helicopter :) must be kind of funny.
