KEA
(Nestor notabilis)
The endangered Kea, captured here at the Ben Lomand Track at Queenstown in Fiordland, southern New Zealand, is the world's only alpine parrot.   It is a large bird (almost 50 cms.long) and one of the most intelligent of birds, but also mischievous and destructive.   It is known to make and use tools.
