These birds are fortunate to have a lot of natural inner joy. Must be contagious because I feel happier having watched this video.

A Kea will steal anything shiny. Your watch, any jewelry , cellphone etc. The most adorable robber on the planet.

As will Crows & probably several other species. If a Crow likes you sometimes they will leave these stolen or found objects as a gift for you.

Makes total sense to me, these 'laughs' echo around the ski-fields in the morning, usually accompanied by a wave of destruction. They'd chew the trims off cars, the bar grips off quads, tip over anything they could find, generally just having a great time tormenting guests. =) Awesome birds but masters of destruction too.

There were a lot of Kea in the mountains where I grew up, those birds will absolutely destroy your car if the feel like it. They’re so cool, I love their orange plumage

Kea behave exactly like this in the wild. They are native to New Zealand. It's not due to captivity. They are an Alpine bird who will come flying in from miles around when they think something entertaining is about to eat or steal.

Why do they continuously gnaw on his fingers or ears? They just gnaw on anything? Someone said they’ll do a number on your car and they like windshield wipers. I’m just wonder what they get out of it.

Where are they eating the lead? In the US, Bald Eagles, Ravens and other carrion eaters, get poisoned by the lead buckshot in animal carcasses. It doesn’t take much to poison them. Same with lead weights with fishing tackle. These items should be steel not lead!

Kinda, Kea and Kaka are Kakapo's closest relative, but still seperated by 10s of millions of years. Kea and Kaka are much closer, just a few million years between them, but they're all in a very basal lineage of parrots called Strigopoidae so more closely related to eachover then to other parrots.

They are natural problem solvers so they figured out that opportunity. Crows play pranks on people too such as dropping stones. They’re destructive to farmers and will do anything for food but I don’t see them gnawing on windshield wipers. 😅
