Kererū feeding on karaka berry

Photo of a Kererū with it's mouth full of karaka berry.

The kererū is important in the seed dispersal of large native berries in forest ecosystems. Kererū are the only birds left (all others are now extinct) big enough to swallow the large fruits of the karaka tree.
