Comments
While waiting to enter the Homer Tunnel on the Milford sound end (timer was 6m 30s thereabouts), a whole group of Kea approached our car (2 at a time, 6 at its max from memory) and starting pecking away at pieces of trim from the car’s Windscreen wipers, sunroof and hood. They were fearless and did not respond to shoos which we were trying to wave them away from within the car. Did not get images of all of them as it was chaotic, but managed to get a few which I will email).
Behaviour
Attempting to feed, calling/communicating amongst themselves (?)
