Check out this solid unit 👀 Today we're saying 'kia ora' to kererū! Around Wellington we've seen a 243% increase in kererū since 2011. These big native birds have big mouths... and big puku! That means they can eat the largest berries of our native trees: things like tawa, miro and karaka. When we remove predators, kererū thrive and this helps restore our native forest 💚
