Nestor Notabilis - Kea

New Zealands only Parrot..we call Kea, clever, cheeky King of the Sky and any rubber which he can lay his beak on. ..thats what the Kea is well known for. leave your car unattended and he takes all the rubber apart.

he is mostly at home in the Mountains, like here on Arthurs Pass, gateway to the West Coast

for you bird lovers and others who are interested to get an inside of a very intelligent Bird and Predetor, with a huge attitude to boot. nzbirds.com/birds/kea.html

 

as a baby the Kea looks not much..as a German Zoo has found out..and as all Germans do, they worry the chick won't get through the stage...it's quite a funny story

have a look
