Native pigeon - kereru
There are a number of these attractive and clumsy birds that frequent our orchard. They seem to enjoy feasting on the buds and blossoms of the plum trees in particular. In this case he perched in the top of a young almond tree.
It's clear that (like humans) the native birds are happy to eat whatever is available and tastes good. We find the kereru love tagasaste flower buds and cherry plums. As our forest garden matures and the amount of flowers and fruit increases, so does the bird population. Who would have thought.
