I know I keep talking about Kereru but last night on the way home from work one crash landed in a shrub like three feet from me and started feeding and by the gods they look ridiculous up close with their tiny heads and huge bodies.
We have a couple that hang out on the power lines near home - watched one calmly fall off the other day, plummet to the ground and perform a very sketchy crash landing in the nick of time. Gorgeous idiots lol
That's awesome! We had one come and land in our flowering plum tree a couple of days ago. They are so heavy, the whole tree bends. And this is a mature, decades old tree.
I love those bumbling idiots. My favourite is when my dog starts barking at them, and they just completely ignore her.
