2. (noun) crop (of a bird).
Ko te kōrero, ‘he kākā honihoni, he kūkū tangai nui’ he whakataurite i te āta kai a te kākā ki te kaihoro a te kūkū (Te Ara 2015). / The saying ‘a nibbling parrot, a pigeon with a stuffed crop' compares the slow deliberate eating of the kākā with the gluttony of the New Zealand pigeon.
