The Kea. New Zealand alpine parrot.

Album Description:

The Kea is essentially a ground bird or that is certainly where they prefer to spend the majority of their time often entertaining any humans present with their sideways hopping. But when airborne, they are magnificent fliers.

    • Aw great.... NOW I have to go to New Zealand! I will add it to my (ever growing) list of places to travel. Your pictures are simply stunning, both in quality and in subject. Keas are such a beautiful, ancient species of parrot, and as a bird-watcher, I can only hope the the government of New Zealand continues to protect their habitat.

    • You've done a yeoman's job of documenting this wonderful species, and it's beauty is enough to preserve for future generations. When will we learn that we cannot remove precious species from the planet without repercussion? Haven't learned this important lesson yet, I'm afraid. Fred
