I'm in love with kea parrots. I liked this video very much - you can't see much of keas here in Poland but Zoo. I especially liked the family life insight. A nice piece of work both of keas and the cameramen. It's a pity that , again, humans are trouble for these birds. Fantastically smart creatures, inventive, playful. How sad that people are so greedy and smuggle them overseas. I was shocked with this scene in the film - dead keas, sedated keas...
Inform me about new films on keas. I am mad about parrots.
Thank you
Zofia
"Happy, little green parrot who calmly burrows through the still-living flesh of sheep and dines upon their kidney fat while they lay bleating in terror. No, really."
Nature is fierce.
