Probably a Female Adult kea — Photo by Donna Shaw

Eva is a lovely, dainty little adult female who was banded in 2010. She tends to hang at Deaths Corner occasionally and in 2017 she had at least one chick (Tuhura) who she feeds, preens and chases away occasionally when he starts to bug her too much! Eva's profile photo shows that she has the older metal bands on her legs. Two of these used to be coated in coloured paint in a unique combintation of colours (in this case Black / Red) but over time this paint fades. It is still extremely helpful if you can take a close-up photo of the metal leg bands because sometimes we are able to read the V band number (the number on the plain metal band - in Eva's case V-0001) and also look closely in the grooves of the ex-painted metal bands to see the remnants of the paint colours there and work out which kea this is! We just "re-discovered" Eva in October 2017. Help us be a detective and find more of the older kea with metal leg bands which we haven't seen for ages!
