FBWHDJSNDK HOW MANY KERERŪ NEED TO FLY INTO MY WINDOW

the stupid bird in question:

Also known as a wood pigeon or nz pigeon but like why. It's called a Kererū.

They are native and endemic to nz and are really fat n stuff.

Their favourite thing to is fly into windows and sit on power lines.

According to my research of seeing them.

Edit: I forgot that they literally get drunk on berries and that's why they like flying into my window.

Kereru, or a New Zealand Wood Pigeon seen on a recent walk. They're large and rather round, and although reduced in extent, are not threatened.
