Bird of the Year 2018, the beloved – and occasionally tipsy – kererū. Occasionally, they fill themselves up with a fair amount of fermented fruit and have been known to fall out of trees. They are one of the only New Zealand birds that eat the whole fruit, which means they scatter seeds wherever they fly. Up in Te Tai Tokerau, these portly pigeons go by an alternative name: kūkupa.

Cohen the Kiwi* and Kleo the Kererū have been travelling the world since 2022. We're a dynamic duo with Kleo showing off the beauty of the kererū and Cohen making the plans to get us there.
Together Cohen and Kleo check out the sights and history of the world sharing the adventures while making sure to introduce those we meet to the kererū and other New Zealand birds.
