Comments
There was another kea sitting on the tower with him, but only 1 flew down and interacted with us. They'd both been calling from the tower before the 1 flew down. Lost track of what happened to the other bird because of all the excitement in the parking lot after he flew down. The silver band on his right leg was #822.
Behaviour
Flew down from the electric power tower, landed on a parked vehicle, & began chewing on the rubber around the windows & biting the antenna. He proceeded to hop from vehicle roof to vehicle roof while several of us were able to get very lose & take pictures. He put on quite a show & wasn't timid around people at all.
