the majestic #kea. quick photo break between it trying to take of the car antenna (expected) and biting me in the ankle (my fault. I was wearing red socks and they looked interesting. I am 99% sure it didn't hurt me on purpose)
Don't feed the kea!

The #kaka is an endemic parrot of #Aotearoa #NewZealand. It's maybe not as famous as the kea, but it's also a clever and attractive bird. This one here at #pukaha wildlife centre is letting me know very subtly that - should I be in possession of a nut - it wouldn't say no to eating it. (don't feed the birds!) #photography #travelphotography #wildlifephotography #birds
