For my 200th post... A lecture on New Zealand parrots.
As you may know, I live in New Zealand. It is home to many weird and wonderful creatures such as the tuatara: Tuatara - Wikipedia and very adorable little fantails: New Zealand fantail - Wikipedia
There are also native parrots to New Zealand. We have the world's only alpine parrot, the Kea.
I have had my experience with these cheeky parrots. When I was little, we went on a trip and stopped for lunch. Then a kea visited our car and chewed the lining of rubber off it! They are extraordinarily smart!
This is what they do...
There's also the Kakapo, one of the cutest parrots EVER!
The last one i'm going to mention is the Kaka:
They are also SUPER smart and I actually haven't seen one of them before!
If you want to read more about them: Parrots of New Zealand - Wikipedia
Here is a few extra photos of some of the cool birds in New Zealand (which are commonly found in my backyard and around the place):
This is a native wood pigeon called the kereru (one of my many favourites):
The native bird called the Tui (these things have incredible vocals):
Also a fantail:
And a not so native king fisher:
Anyway, thanks for reading!
