The Kereru, also known as the New Zealand Pigeon, is a stunning native bird that holds great significance in Maori culture. With its vibrant green and white feathers, it is truly a sight to behold. In aviation history, the Fokker F27 Friendship ZK-BXE was affectionately named "Kereru" after this majestic bird. It soared through the skies with grace and elegance, just like its namesake. Speaking of namesakes, did you know that there are two DDE-90026704 and DDE-90026705 species of wood pigeons named Kereru? These beautiful creatures were painted by an artist between 1772-75 using watercolors. Their intricate details capture the essence of these birds perfectly. If you ever come across a silhouette of a Native New Zealand Wood Pigeon or Kereru, you'll instantly recognize its distinctive shape. Its large size and rounded body make it easily distinguishable from other birds. For those who prefer visuals over descriptions, Picture No. 11066762 showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Kereru up close.
