  Kea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kea (Nestor notabilis) is a semi-nocturnal parrot native to the alpine mountains of New Zealand.
Keas typically nest in crevices under rocks, in the roots of trees, or hollow logs.
Keas lay clutches of two to four eggs per season and these are incubated by the female for around twenty-nine days.

 Mauna Kea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, one of five volcanic peaks that together form the Island of Hawaii.
In Hawaiian, mauna kea means "white mountain", a reference to the fact that it is regularly snow or frost capped during the northern hemisphere winter.
Mauna Kea is also the tallest mountain in the world when measured from base to peak, its base being some 16,000 feet (over 5,000 m) under the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

 Kea
During winter the Keas tend to spend most of their time at the lower altitudes where food is more plentiful but in spring and autumn they move up into the sub-alpine scrub and grassland to feed on seasonal fruit and berries.
Keas are also dab hands at carpentry or so they would have you believe - they are experts at stealing nails, screws and virtually anythind that can be carried from buildin'g sites in a beak much to the "delight" of the chippie.
Keas also require entertainment areas such as concrete pipes and tree roots and as they love to dig into the ground, they need to be wormed regularly.

Kea were also particularly interested in objects that were novel (i.e., not being frequently encountered) and also contained some element of complexity.
This is not to suggest that kea investigate yellow objects at a ski-field because they mistake them or juveniles, but rather, for kea, yellow may stand out in the environment as a particularly interesting colour.
Kea in the wild feed on a wide variety of food items, such as fruits, seeds, roots, leaves and buds, nectar, insect larvae, honeydew and occasionally meat (including carrion).

 Kea (New Zealand's Mountain Parrot)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Although kea are seen in reasonable numbers throughout the South Island, the size of the wild population is unknown - but is estimated at between 1,000 and 5,000 birds.
The kea is related to the forest kaka (Nestor meridionalis) and is thought to have developed its own special characteristics during the last great ice age by using its unusual powers of curiosity in its search for food in a harsh landscape.
Another reason why it is important not to feed keas is that a kea's natural food is mainly plant material such as berries, roots, shoots and insect larvae.

 kea
Keas are highly intelligent and naturally inquisitive, and are renowned for their boldness.
Keas were shot until 1953 and only gained full protection from hunters and farmers in 1986 when the Department of Conservation promised to investigate every incidence of sheep attacks by Keas.
Keas are naturally curious creatures and it is this trait that gets them into trouble with humans from time to time and gives them their destructive nametag.

 about
Keas are well adapted to the harsh climate and environment in which they live, being opportunists, feeding on every-thing from vegetable matter to scavenging off carcasses.
The smaller relative to the Kea is the less well known Kaka, a basically sombre, brown coloured parrot almost the size and shape of a Glossy Black Cockatoo with the same heavy, powerful bill ideal for ripping into wood in search of grubs and other invertebrate life.
Unlike the Kea, the Kaka inhabits forests almost exclusively and is now restricted to the larger tracts of temperate rainforest on both main islands and some of the smaller, off-shore islands.
