info

This a really beautiful and large pigeon. Its plumage has  so many colours that it is difficult to produce o photography giving justice to its beauty. It is an enormous bird, as it may weigh up to 850 grams. Interestingly enough, the collar dove, which can be easily found in Poland, weighs about 200 grams and is therefore four times as light as the New Zealand pigeon. The bird inhabits both the northern and southern islands of New Zealand. it feeds on fruit and kernels.
