Beautiful endemic New Zealand Wood Pigeons 'Kereru' play an important role in the forest ecosystem by dispersing seeds from the fruits of native New Zealand trees. This Kereru bird is feeding on a Kahikatea tree (white pine) in the garden, which is New Zealand's tallest tree species, growing to a height of more than 65 meters (over 200 feet). The Kahikatea can live for over 600 years.
