Re: Doves - New Zealand Pigeon

The kerer?? or New Zealand Pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) is a bird endemic to New Zealand. The M??ori name is Kerer?? in the South Island and much of the North Island. Other M??ori names for the bird are k??kupa (in parts of the North Island) and k??k?? (Northland). New Zealand pigeons are commonly called wood pigeons, though they are not the same as the Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) which is a member of a different genus.
