Behaviour
The banded Kea (Maxxy?) was doing a lot of calling and appeared to chase off the other kea (a smaller and darker kea) walking on the ground with his wings spread and dragging his back feathers along. He then also swooped very close to me while I was sat at the bench and did the same walking with wings spread out towards me which felt a little threatening. As we cooked and ate dinner on the bench Maxxy kept approaching our stove and we had to shoo him away multiple times!
