Kea are fantastic. One stole my gopro at the Remarkables years ago. I recovered it after playing a protracted game of chase while other Kea watched with glee. Eventually they got distracted by the next game (which seemed to involve jumping into snow drifts) and left my gopro alone. I wish it was recording at the time!
- EdwardDiego 6y agoI used to describe them as monkeys with wings... ...and built-in Swiss army knives, to tourists. Because their beaks are amazingly versatile. They've been observed removing screws with them. But I love how their cleverness is directly tied to the harshness of their habitat - they're the only alpine parrot, and they survive solely on their wits and their incessant curiosity, to them, everything must be investigated as a potential food source. ...or as a potential fun source, they do love a good time.
