Keas may be the most playful bird species on the planet-so much so that all it takes is a special ‘play call’ to get them in the mood. One biologist has even recorded that call, and is aiming to test it out.

A Kea will steal anything shiny. Your watch, any jewelry , cellphone etc. The most adorable robber on the planet.

@JesgateOnDown 2 года назад

As will Crows & probably several other species. If a Crow likes you sometimes they will leave these stolen or found objects as a gift for you.

Makes total sense to me, these 'laughs' echo around the ski-fields in the morning, usually accompanied by a wave of destruction. They'd chew the trims off cars, the bar grips off quads, tip over anything they could find, generally just having a great time tormenting guests. =) Awesome birds but masters of destruction too.

Kea behave exactly like this in the wild. They are native to New Zealand. It's not due to captivity. They are an Alpine bird who will come flying in from miles around when they think something entertaining is about to eat or steal.

@Grendelmonster8u 2 года назад

Why do they continuously gnaw on his fingers or ears? They just gnaw on anything? Someone said they’ll do a number on your car and they like windshield wipers. I’m just wonder what they get out of it.

@KC_Eden 2 года назад

Kakapo are flightless and live in forests. Kea can fly.

@Squidlubber 2 года назад

Somewhat, they’re both in the superfamily Strigopoidae. There’s only 4 extant species in the whole superfamily.

@ProfessionalBadPerson 2 года назад

Kinda, Kea and Kaka are Kakapo's closest relative, but still seperated by 10s of millions of years. Kea and Kaka are much closer, just a few million years between them, but they're all in a very basal lineage of parrots called Strigopoidae so more closely related to eachover then to other parrots.

@donna626 2 года назад

It is sad that we are losing Kea in New Zealand. Our endemic alpine parrot is declining due to pests, human interaction and lead.

@Grendelmonster8u 2 года назад

Where are they eating the lead? In the US, Bald Eagles, Ravens and other carrion eaters, get poisoned by the lead buckshot in animal carcasses. It doesn’t take much to poison them. Same with lead weights with fishing tackle. These items should be steel not lead!

@ukusanz 2 года назад

@@Grendelmonster8u the lead is on the roofing nails, or lead head nails used on corrugated iron roofs. Keas will pick at and test eating just about anything

@@edwardfletcher7790 What they need is a trained dog to chase them away. Do Kea also eat other birds’ nestlings? Crows are highly intelligent which makes them amusing. They are natural problem solvers so they figured out that opportunity. Crows play pranks on people too such as dropping stones. They’re destructive to farmers and will do anything for food but I don’t see them gnawing on windshield wipers. 😅
