Comments
A friend told there was a young kea with potentially a broken wing by the tunnel so I went to check it out. I observed them for 15 mins, wings were fine, they could all fly but the fledgling were a bit awkward. One of them was extra awkward as it looked like it's tail feathers hadn't been fully developed yet. Didn't see any blood or bone and none of them seemed to be acting un-kea-like.
Behaviour
The Godfeather seemed to be teaching the fledging how to be a kea. They were both following it around and bowing to it constantly.
