Destructive Kea

            How would you feel if kea birds fearlessly took your gears away or attacked your sheep in the alpine region of New Zealand?
The kea is a species of large parrot in the family Nestoridae found in the forested and alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand. About 48 cm long, it is mostly olive-green with a brilliant orange under its wings and has a large, narrow, curved, grey-brown upper beak.

Keas are infamous for their naughty and destructive personality, earning them the title “Clown of the Alps.”

Due to their destructive tendencies, they encountered conflict with human settlers, leading to the death of 150,000 keas. But there’s so much more to Kea parrots than just being mischievous.
