Not so.

They are massive. They are colourful. They aren't your average, everyday pigeon. They hang in groups. They make me want to grab my camera everytime they get in a new configuration. The wind makes their metallic-looking feathers do all sorts of funny things. They make me smile. They are distracting me.

yah, they look prehistoric, don't they?
Love these guys.... they are kinda gormless birds but loveable somehow. You can see why they were hunted... easy to spear, and nice and plump ;)
They have such lovely colours.
You are so lucky to have that many kereru in your garden! Enjoy them
