Kea, a species of parrot native to New Zealand, are known to eat rubber primarily due to their curiosity and playful nature. They often explore their environment with their beaks, and rubber items such as car seals or tires can attract them as potential toys. Additionally, the rubber may have traces of food or other interesting scents that entice the birds. This behavior can lead to damage to vehicles and property in areas where Kea are present.
