Kea

TeeJay told me when I left work that she was heading up to my place to check out the Kea.  On the way up to feed the calves, I spotted her parked across the road at our neighbours, out taking lots of photo's of the Kea eating walnuts from the ground.  As soon as I arrived, this cheeky bird jumped its way over towards us both, paraded around, and then headed back to its 5 other friends under the walnut tree.

About 10 minutes later, about another 10 Kea flew over and joined these 6.  I left TeeJay happily photographing the birds while I went and fed my baby calves.   Have a look at TeeJay's Kea - she has captured it with its wings open, showing its beautiful colours.
