- Come help me count as many kererū as possible for the annual Great Kererū count, and help this citizen science project!
The Great Kererū count is a citizen science project here in Aotearoa New Zealand that aims to collect as much data as possible on kererū populations to see how they're doing and how we can conserve them, by getting members of the public to submit kererū observations over 10 days. Kererū are our only endemic pigeons, found nowhere else on Earth, and play a pivotal role in spreading seeds so forests can flourish. Plus they're preeeetty
You can find out more on how to participate in the Great Kererū Count, and submit your observations, right here: www.greatkerer...

:D 6:14 just casually going by one of the rarest birbs in the world on your way to see a flawless icon of a pigeon
Hahahah takahē who?
This was lots of fun to watch! What a fun annual tradition, and helpful for collecting data as well. Thank you for making this!
PS - I saw zero Kererū today in Canada.
How cool would it have been if you had seen one 😱😱
Really awesome project and video highlighting this community science project. Zealandia looks really pretty and a nice place to go.

I love Zealandia!! One of my favourite places in the world 😊 so cool I can’t wait to see what they do with the data, they’ve got 8 years worth now!
This is so fun ..lol💖
Your a great teacher .
Got to love a nice kererū, so kо̄takataka they are! Best moment seeing one was hearing a rustling in the bach coming back from a walk. Open the door and one is standing in the doorway. Looks up at me and just struts right out unfazed
Must've flown in the kitchen window for the berries (or the wine, those lushes)
Hahahaha so sassy! That’s a great story love it 💕💕
👏 pigeons are underrated!
pigeons get such a hard time!!
so many colorful doves there
nice video to watch. entertaining so much
cool. lik39, su_#610
new viewer here watching your video
God I love this country
Such chunky birds with such tiny looking heads, I love them! They kind of remind me of the Pied Imperial pigeon we get here but that's probably just because they're also big.
Great job, Sum!
Such a silly tiny head, cracks me up
Very nice! I going to see how many I can count in half an hour!
wait how come this is the last year??
Thank you for such a blessed video! I started off with a good day, then got pretty bad, but this absolutely helped to cheer me up a bit. Your funny impressions of passersby made me laugh and I love seeing those chubby little beebs
Awww I’m so glad it helped you feel better 🧡 hope you’re doing okay! Thanks for watching from me and the birbs 🕊🌿
kererū cute.
Aren’t they 😭
Always eating Alfalfa... :)
Alfalfa! I had no idea
@@outdoorswithsum I've seen 20 once smashing a tree of it in the little park before mount bruce haha.
First observation entered - thanks for the video
Awesome go you!!
Nice work Summer! Those kererū are absolutely gorgeous, definitely a species I want to see when I finally make it to New Zealand. I’ve heard a lot about Zealandia, but I have a question. Are all of the birds there considered to be wild, or is it more of a captive scenario? Great work Summer!
- Harrison and Evan
Come to Wellington we’ve got heaps!! The birds are considered wild - it’s an area of 225 hectares and everything is free to roam and fly in and out, the only things that can’t get in are introduced mammals. Buuut there’s a few exceptions - the birds that can’t fly, like kiwi and takahē can’t get out but they have a big area to roam! And the tuatara as well 😊 some birds in there are self-introduced, have found their own way in. Others, like kiwi and kākā, have been translocated in from predator free islands or captive breeding programmes and are now thriving! Lots of the birds are spreading outside the sanctuary too which is awesome
@@outdoorswithsum Zealandia is definitely in the top 3 locations I want to explore when we come to visit you!
