I love how pigeons are basically the comic relief of the bird family, and perhaps even dinosaurs as a whole.

I love seeing them use our valley for display flights. They come loudly flapping down the hillside at high speed, then curving sharply upwards until vertical, stall and tip forward, and glide silently down in a mirror curve to the ascent. Spectacular! The photo at 6:30 is a beautiful image. Really captures the iridescence.

0:53 what a majestic animal, really challenges the awkward pigeon flocks that rest on trees slowly falling off in my area 😂 they’re very cute birbs. Also their poo looks like sweets.

We have a kereru pair that chill in the Karaka trees at the base of our garden. They’re hilarious fliers but shit EVERYWHERE

In the mid-90's I stayed on Great Barrier Island at Tryphena. Kereru were very common and would fly and perch within metres of the lodge we rented. But I have seen them many times elsewhere in the North Island.

A bird after my own heart! Its scat looks like folk-art jewelry, and it enjoys getting ripped on fruits then hanging upside down by its feet and waving in the breeze.

Tāngata whenua have a right to spear, snare, and eat kererū; as the birds are regarded as a taonga species Māori are obliged to also protect them for future generations. When animals are abundant enough to be eaten then we know we’re doing a good job of conservation. The prohibition on kererū hunting has led to the loss of some oral histories pertaining to the kererū and this has had negative effects on their management bcuz the government pushed us into a sort of dark ages in regards to kererū and they’re filling in the knowledge gaps with haphazard barely tested western science. The purpose of the protections on kererū were to add insult to injury and blame Māori for the national decline in kererū numbers when in fact it is clear that the introduction of mammalian predators and the logging of our rangatira trees and the introduction of firearms by Pākehā compounding on the land wars culminated in the widespread decline of kererū and the extinctions of many other taonga. Kua whetūrangitia, that is to say they have become stars in the sky
