A King Parrot (male) visiting our bird feeding bowl. These are native to the Australian east coast. Tomorrow I am heading away for a while, and expect limited internet. Enjoy yourselves everyone. Explored.

Well that's the name I've given this Crimson Rosella who visits almost daily. When he arrives he sings till I feed him some seed - he has trained me. :-) Explored.

A King Parrot (Alisterus scapularis) who dropped in for a visit. These are large but quite timid and, although he wanted to visit our feeder, a smaller Crimson Rosella easily kept him away. Explored.

Kea are comfortable around people (handouts, please). They're also inquisitive and destructive. We spotted this one in the carpark at Milford Sound, busily trying to extract the door rubber through the gap around the door. Apparently they have been known to enter cars with windows open and pick out the stitching in the upholstery, or enter and trash hikers' tents. Little wonder they're endangered! Explored.

One of several keas (NZ mountain parrots) in the carpark at Arthur's Pass, in the Southern Alps. Other images in notes.

Keas are mountain parrots, found only on the South Island of New Zealand. Details about them are on the sign in the notes. This one was at Arthur's Pass. They are unconcerned being near people.
