A kea is a parrot native to the alpine and forested areas of the South Island of New Zealand. They're notorious for "attacking" parked cars and chewing up the rubber bits like the windshield wipers and gaskets around the doors. They are also accused of killing sheep, but they may only scavenge sheep killed by other predators -- although they DO have the equipment to do the job themselves.

Like most parrots, they are highly intelligent and have demonstrated the ability to solve logic puzzles and teamwork to get to the solutions.

Physical description:

The kea is the second-largest parrot in New Zealand. It averages 48cm in length and 930 grams. Its head is brownish-green and its body and tail bronze-green or olive-green, while underneath its tail is dull yellow. Some blue can be seen on the wings and the tail. There is some red-orange colouring on its lower back and underneath the wings. The kea is particularly known for its long, curved beak.
