Kea Parrot.... Yucks!

A wild parrot that survives very well in the harsh mountainous environment at Milford Sound. Studies have shown it's more intelligent than monkeys! No wonder they not scared on humans and it approached our coach instead! It can also be carnivorous and has been seen feeding on surface fats of sheep, thus killing the sheep indirectly. Yucks!

But Kea cannot b shot ok! These rare birds r protected by NZ law........


They sure look stronger than me! One even looks unaffected by the rain and a wound on its wing......
