Kereru Feather Earrings

Kereru Feather Earrings by artist Nicki Cliff of Lilygriffin Jewellery

New Zealand's native Kereru (New Zealand Wood Pigeon) wear white plumage `vests'.  The rest of their feathers are brilliantly rainbow coloured in green, blue, purple, orange and gold iridescent hues.  Kereru make a distinctive heavy wing beating sound as they fly through New Zealand forests, foraging for native berries.
