New Zealand Pukeko (Poo'-ke-ko)
Item Size: Approximately 15x22cm
The pukeko is a widespread and easily recognisable bird that has benefitted greatly by the clearing of land for agriculture. Most common foods are the stems, shoots, leaves and seeds of grasses, sedges, rushes, clover, and bulrush. They also eat garden vegetables and crop plants. Distinctive looking with its brilliant red frontal shield and deep violet breast plumage, the pukeko also has a complex and vocal social life.
