Leah the Kea was caught and banded at Arthur's Pass village during December 2021 when she was just a first-year! Two little young research assistants (the daughter of one of our team members and her best friend) named this lovely little bird 'Leah (the kea)' after they helped out with some kea conservation work at Arthur's Pass. Conservation work and passion for wildlife is in their blood and they've been passionate about the cause since they were tiny! Take care when reading and recording this band combo. There is a close band combination of White BO on Green (https://keadatabase.nz/birds/jay-joseph) - it looks very similar to Jay Joseph's band!
