Comments
I spend a substantial amount of time in the mountain environment and take great pleasure in Kea sightings and Kea being present in the environment. They really add to my mountain experience. In the last 12 months Kea numbers have greatly increased in South Westland areas that I hunt, which is fantastic to see. My personal observations of post 10 80 use lead me to believe this does not help the Kea in the slightest. Hopefully in the future this form of “pest control” will be outlawed!!!
Behaviour
Typical Kea behaviour - there were 13 Kea in this group
