    Never really heard of a kea, so I looked it up. What a fiesty little bird. They're cute, but I hope they can't fly to the U.S. Here's an article for those who are equally fascinated...

    From that article, "Bounty hunters were employed by high country runholders, as they were loosing too many sheep to the killer Kea."
