Kea - Naughty Alpine Parrot of New Zealand

The parrot famed for being destructive chews on tourists' shoes, camera strap, and on a camper van while a crowd watches. Did you know that keas are intelligent birds that can solve puzzles and understand probability? They are smart animals. Please leave a comment 😊

A Kea just started throwing all my dishes on the floor I’m st a campsite, when I got out of my car it proceeded to run away like a naughty parrot haha

A group of Crows is called a murder of crows. A group of Keas is called a circus.

The IKEA parrot is a close relative and comes from Sweden

Keas have a cortex that is more than 2x as developed as most dogs. They're actually more intelligent than the vast majority of large mammals. How cool is that?

I love keas much. When I went to New Zealand they chewed my car

Ah, the parrot fixation with rubbery textures. That's why the adapter cord on my computer is covered in duct tape patches. Evil cockatiel.

It's so cool to see a bunch of mountain birds so comfortable with humans. It's sad that some humans took advantage of this and killed these amazing birds intentionally (even after the bounty was lifted).
Save the Kea. They're the only alpine parrot species and are endemic to New Zealand.

I love kea SO MUCH. They're my favourite birds. So cheeky, such funny vandals.

These birds are so curious about everything

Sad that their numbers are declining, I really hope they dont go the way of the dodo, they are such cheeky funny charismatic birds

J’adore les Kea. Se sont des oiseaux extraordinaires. 👍

Parrots seem to have a rubber fetish...

I love how friendly most of them are with people.

Having my boots being chewed by Cackling Snow Parrots is one of my life purposes after this video.

I like the crowd reaction when the kea ripped the rubber off that RV.

Damn, it's like having a bunch of unruly children to care for~
