The Maori name for the New Zealand pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae), a large, striking native bird with iridescent green and bronze plumage and a distinctive white breast. Kukupa is widely used in New Zealand alongside the alternative Maori name 'kereru,' and both names appear in everyday conversation, conservation writing, and news media.
