Summary[edit] Description: The habitat of the kea extends from South Island beech forests to alpine meadows and mountain scree slopes. This environment is extensive, extremely harsh and variable and the kea has evolved to cope with the associated survival pressures this environment presents. The total area where kea may nest covers approximately 4,000,000 ha of the South Island and is made up of predominantly Upland Beech forests. Date: 12 August 2007, 10:46. Source: The Kea..

Kākā parrot (Nestor meridionalis) juvenile fledgling clinging to base of tree only a metre or so from the track in the suburban public reserve Huntleigh Park, Crofton Downs, Wellington, New Zealand. The juveniles cannot fly initially so are incredibly vulnerable to predation, including by domestic cats and dogs, for the first few weeks after fledging.
