Comments
While watching the keas preen each other, we noticed the one marked Yellow P on Black sneezed several times. There were no other clear signs of illness (such as puffed-up feathers or inactivity) and "P" appeared quite energetic, running around on the ground and on our car after "BK" left the area. However, it continued to sneeze regularly for more than half an hour.
Behaviour
The birds were preening each other. The kea marked Yellow P on Black sneezed several times.
