It's getting to be autumn in my part of the world, so I am delving into the archives for photos. This is a New Zealand wood pigeon, it's Maori name is kereru. When you hear them fly overhead, they sound like helicopters. Honest.

What a colorful pigeon! I'd like to hear it flying.
I like the idea of a helicopter pigeon. Pretty one too.

I know a lot of people don't think much of pigeons, but I think they are so colorful! Loved your description, Betty! Have a blessed week!

Beautiful bird!
I love the sound it makes...I'm glad you included the link. I'm not sure our pigeons are as pretty.
wood pigeons are a very beautiful pigeon :)
I have a feeling we have these pretty pigeons here too, or a similar one. We have these fat white ones as well that come down from Papua New Guinea they are also really noisy when they fly.
