Comments
All night 'half moon' party at Crusher Loop, from late evening until about 7am this morning. Just an estimation of how many kea there were but there was a lot of calling between them on surrounding trees and neighbours roofs. I got up at 3am with the persistant tapping on the door and had six young ones mucking around on the house 3 patio. I could make out Badger again as he had been there playing jandal tug of war with me earlier. Banded ones sighted were Wananga (earlier at dinner) Ya Se ( " ) Robin Hood Snoop Badger & a new kid I don't know ( Y on Orange) showing up regularly.
Behaviour
Calling LOUDLY to each other, Tapping and pecking at lounge door and windows all night. Tussle play on the lawn and the usual after dark kea mischief
