Comments
Group of 4 adults and 4 sub-adults right next to Waimakariri Falls Hut. Two of the sub-adults were banded, the rest unbanded.
Behaviour
Lots of calling. Trying to peck at clothing, attempting to break into the long drop via the lock on the front and the pipe on top. Trying to pull the nails/screws out of the wooden path to the boardwalk. Some sub-adults rough housing with each other. Drinking from a puddle. One kea tried very hard to dig a rock out of the ground with it's beak.
