I went to hang out with the Kea at Willowbank the other day and took the following photos:
The look of curiosity is unmistakable.
A pickpocket moves in.
Kati has lost part of her beak but can still hold her own. She likes to perch on my gumboots.
Kea like to interact with new people and objects in their territory.
Bill shows off his signature "hold your beak" move.
Sometimes humans become a favored perch. The Kea feathers have a wild, musty smell that I find comforting. Their feathers are also very soft and it's like having a pillow rest on your shoulder.
