Kererū feeding on kawakawa.
The kererū has the widest gape out of all New Zealand native birds. This enables it to eat the largest berries in the forest. The kererū is important in the seed dispersal of large native berries in forest ecosystems and trees, such as the kawakawa, rely on native birds for seed dispersal.
