One of a gang of juvenile kea romping about on the mountain side around the Broken River Skifield. They seemed just as curious about us as we were about them.

	tobybear says: Great shot - they're so cheeky - great to see a photo of one up high like that in its mountain environment. A friend I know who works for DoC told me that they can unscrew the pins out of stoat traps and will then bombard them with stones to spring the moustraps inside before tucking into the egg they're baited with. Smart Birds :> Great photo :-) Posted 3 months ago. ( permalink )
