Details
Location Details
Beside the Bealey River in Arthur's Pass Village. Village side of the river.
Comments
A group of banded and unbanded kea flew to the Bealy River. I'm estimating the number at 8 but it may have been more. I had the impression there were more unbanded kea in this group.
Behaviour
Most of the kea were in the riverbed among the rocks. About 5 curious kea landed near two local children, who were standing on the top of the river bank and yelling.
