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. The bird is a taonga (treasure) species for Maori and plays an important ecological role as a seed disperser for native trees. It is also known for its loud, whooshing wingbeats.
