Comments
Necropsy results: this kea had suffered extensive trauma consistent with being struck by a vehicle. He was a young male in good body condition, and the level of lead in the liver was low and did not contribute a to any increased susceptibility to vehicular trauma.
Behaviour
Found dead on road, suspected vehicle strike. Sent to Massey for necropsy. Note i can't find the metal band or the colour band in the kea database.
