The mountain-dwelling New Zealand kea is a parrot that enjoys rolling and frolicking in the snow just like a monkey. They even turn onto their backs, primate-style,with their feet waving in the air. The kea is an exceptionally inquisitive and cheeky bird. Around ski resorts in the Southern Alps, these parrots break off car windscreen wipers, strip away rubber mouldings and tear at seats and electrical wiring. Their behaviour is very similar to that of free-ranging monkeys in drive- through safari parks. While parrots are sometimes called honorary mammals, the kea is considered an 'honorary primate BAD BEHAVIOUR.
The instinctively curious kea likes to explore and investigate novel objects, whether natural or man-made.
