Kea Alpine parrot (19168924003)

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: 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. Date: 12 August 2007, 10:46. Source: Kea Alpine parrot.
