Hi fellow bird enthusiasts! Remember that .... these are wild mountain parrots here in the vid - they are not trained or hand-reared domestic parrots and do not come from a pet store or a bird breeder! They are highly curious, dexterous, mischievous and seemingly unafraid! I note they even predate on small lambs! We lived among the Northern Kaka at Great Barrier Island and they were similarly cheeky but they do not venture forth and interact on a close-up and personal level like the Kea! The David Attenborough doco on the Kea is well worth a look! Brilliant! The only true mountain parrot on planet earth! Once in Arthur's Pass our bus stopped to let us out for a photo of the scenery - I wore a woven fabric skirt that had silver threads Kea swooped over and flew at my skirt commencing to collect a silver thread out of it. They love anything that glitters or sparkles, and they love strings and rubber too! Very cool bird! :-) Check out the underside of their wing plumage - it is spectacular!

Kea-ping up

"you are late for work again this morning, we need to talk." "I'm truly sorry, but you must understand, I had to battle half a dozen crazy parrots just to finish a cup of coffee."

The great intimidater! I have seen them right there at the cafe clear a table of folk trying to eat their food, one by one they leave until the last man sitting finally retreats too, leaving their food to the successful Kea who makes short work of it. I was sitting in my car minus my camera waiting for wifey who was shopping at the gift shop. They are the best watch at Arthurs Pass village.

Clever one at 1:32. Pretends to not care about the coffee and plays around to get you off guard before a quick steal.

They never fail to crack me up.

“You coffee fiend!” [screech]

The one at 1:20 was a little ham! HAHAHA!!! What cheeky little rascals!

To supplement your bird knowledge, caffeine is _very_ harmful. In quantities we wouldn't even notice, for them could be fatal - their little hearts (and bodies otherwise) are much more sensitive to it than you might think.

@wakaka2waka

Victoria M Apparently, on the BBC Attenborough documentary, I saw them drinking coffee from a Ski lodge - the narration says none of our food does them harm and makes them fatter giving them free time to fool around. They are hardcore omnivores, so perhaps it does not affect them as much as other birds?

@victoriam586

9 жыл бұрын

wakaka2waka Lots of birds are "hardcore omnivores". The problem is that birds' metabolisms are much faster than mammals (meaning the caffeine, gram for gram, is more potent), and smaller size means even less caffeine is necessary to cause permanent damage. It's a shame that the documentary you saw was inadequately researched, but I'm afraid that's not uncommon; many documentaries (even big-name ones!) cite unreliable information, some going as far as inventing "facts" on the fly for content's sake.. Remember, they're as much entertainment pieces as educational pieces, and adjust themselves accordingly - If in doubt, search for independent sources!

The documentary was referring to some of the fast food items they were eating during the winter at a ski resort, which was fine due to supplementing their diet with high calories. However, it also points out that they try everything and soon work out what is good for them, so a Kea had a taste of some beer and promptly knocked over the glass and the bottle, same with coffee.

There's a difference between hardcore omnivore bird and hard core omnivore parrot. (And yes I know that parrots are birds). These parrots, as a group noted for intelligence, split from the rest of the birds around 59 million years ago. THE ONLY omnivore parrots in 59 million years origins came from a decision to live in such a harsh environment that their intelligence, diet and metabolism needed to take a step change in order for them to source enough calories to survive. As a result they are tough, hardy birds, who prior to humans showing up had no predators at all. The southern alps are a barren though majestic part of the world. Having spent time with Kea in their natural environment I have no fear anything we contribute to their diet will harm these gorgeous creatures. In the southern alps what you see in the "documentaries" is what you get in real life. As an omnivore chances are Kea have eaten everything which the botanical culinary chemists (ok plants) have thrown at them. And they have survived. For Kea playing games to sneak a lap of coffee isn't a random behavior, it's a learned and practiced behavior. Like us this intelligent animal craves stimulation. Don't withhold caffeine from one of the few other species on planet earth which probably enjoys it.

Hehehehehe wonderful. I appreciate people who are able to play with birds instead of using force !

What for cheeky, but very funny birds. I saw 2 of these Birds in the zoo and have had so much fun with them

These birbs ate my truck when I was parked on the mountain pass.

These birds are awesome. Now I have a reason to move to New Zealand; to join them in their hijinks.

Such naughty bastards. Trying to intimidate and peck at the guy. These are gangster parrots!

Do the little buggers actually like coffee, or are they just curious what it tastes like? And I also wonder how caffeine affects a small bird. Will it give them an immediate heart attack? Or make them so wired that they fly directly into a wall?
