Enjoy New Zealand! It's been forever since I've seen a Kea!

He is a cutie!

This brings back memories of the Kepler Trek. So cool.

Is that the sound it makes?

Little guy can eat my rental car anytime!

LOOK AT HIS LITTLE FEET!

They’re excellent fun! 😊 Mind your belongings…!

these guys are such smartypants birbs

To be expected with networks deployed using RFC 1149 – A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers "Avian carriers can provide high delay, low throughput, and low altitude service." https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1149

Steezy backslide grind

Ikea parts😄

Sorry not sorry.

I was gonna say, don't let them steal your car

Watching Keas is better anyways!

The real version of the Jurassic Park “they can open doors” moment

Keas are 😍😍😍😍😍 After a game of tug, that I lost, this one stole my hat and hopped off onto the bushes with it. No regrets.

Why would you want TV when the wildlife is so entertaining?

we're all trying to find the guy who did this

The cable is not so much kea-proof as briefly kea-resistant.

It’s been fascinating to see you posting NZ bird photos so soon after relocating here from the US! Still waiting to see kea in the wild - for now we settle for seeing them at the sanctuary in town

My absolute favourite guys.

One of the silliest birds

I like the bird. I love the tree.

that's amazing. I read about kea decades ago in a conservation book called "Last Chance to See" by Douglas Adams (of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" fame). I loved that book, and I'm glad that people are still getting a chance to see kea!

Bastard things.

I met kea at st arthurs pass, they hilariously raided a tourist bus that someone forgot to close properly. one of my top birds ever…

Brilliant photography.

It's not about the food, it's about the lovely feel of destruction, and the outraged cries of the big two legged things. I have white cockatoos where I live and their political ideology is the same. They'll destroy every citrus on a tree because they enjoy it. They don't eat them

DO NOT TRUST IT.

o hai welcome to…Otago(?)

My memorable first encounter. Excitedly dropped pack and crouched to take photographs. Kea made beeline for rucksack and within seconds pecked through it! Me, 'WTF' protecting new Berghaus took priority. Stunning nonetheless.
