Kea Alpine parrot

            The New Zealand kea is an endemic parrot found in the South Island's alpine environments.

Kea are a protected species. They are rated as one of the most intelligent birds in the world. 

To survive in the harsh alpine environment kea have become inquisitive and nomadic social birds - characteristics which help kea to find and utilise new food sources.

Their inquisitive natures often cause kea to congregate around novel objects and their strong beaks have enormous manipulative power.
