About Keriana:

Keriana the Kererū  is part of the New Zealand Wildlife Collection. Keriana is actually on the small side for a Kererū as they are one of the largest pigeon species in the world, growing up to 51 cm long. Keriana is a slightly clumsy bird who absolutely loves to eat large fruit high in the trees (despite their small beak Kererū can eat grapes whole!). With Keriana's bright feathers she would make a colourful addition to anyone's home!

Size: ~  35 x 20 cm
