The kererū (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) or New Zealand pigeon is native to New Zealand. Kererū pairs are monogamous, breeding over successive seasons and remaining together when not breeding. They construct nests with twigs in trees, with a single egg clutch. The kererū is vital to the dispersal of several native tree species because it is now the only surviving bird able to swallow the largest drupes (stone fruits) of the karaka, miro, tawa and taraire.
