Kea ( Nestor notabilis )

 

Noisey, nosey, addicted to stealing unguarded articles and a brain to challenge virtually all other birds of the world the NZ Kea

Once numbered in hundreds of thousands now sadly few remain due to predation, , persecution, lead poisoning from chewing lead fixtures on buildings. you name it Kea can always find new ways to kill themselves or be killed...

The only true mountain parrot in the world.
