Kea


Kea (kee-yuh) are mountain parrots, the unruly teenagers of the bird world.  They are mischievous and curious.  They really like to chew on things, especially shiny things attached to cars.  I watched this one methodically destroy this guy's windshield wipers.

When he was done, he (she?) trotted over to my car to see what he could mess with.  I actually had to remove my wiper blades while I went for a walk.
