Kea
Nestor notabilis
Kea inhabit alpine forests, grasslands, and rocky mountain country in New Zealand's South Island. These highly curious parrots forage for roots, seeds, fruit, insects, and carrion, using their long curved bills to probe and tear. A kea is renowned for its problem-solving ability and willingness to investigate unfamiliar objects.
