sam_casper 0 Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 The two-foot long bird called a Kea that lives in New Zealand likes to eat the strips of rubber around car windows? mmm.... really? Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Yep they'll eat anything. They once had a go at the rubber tie downs on my ski rack once. Ended up having to pay dollars to get new ones. I have seen them steal peoples lunches, attack ski boots on peoples feet as they walk past and even pack at tyres. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Keas are fairly unafraid of people and as mogski says quite capable of destroying things. They are a mountain parrot with beautiful orange feathers on the underside of their wings. They can be seen partying around ski area carparks amusing people and tearing things apart. The sad thing is that contact with people turns them into scavangers-so do as the signs say and don't feed them. Link to post Share on other sites
