@LyndaDelph yes it’s such a pity that most kea portraits (including this one) are unable to convey the most spectacular part of them! @enzo I have a friend who was an ecologist at Canterbury. He had an old convertible British sports car of some kind (Austin something?). Anyway, he replaced the windscreen sun flaps that took months to arrive, and drove up to Mt. Hutt to check on some Chinochloa. Says he went over the rise and was gone 10 minutes, tops. By the time he got back the keas had ripped the new flaps to shreds and were hanging out to see his reaction. @enzo He laughs about it. Their cheeky awesomeness is endearing. Unless you happen to be a sheep farmer… @enzo All the birds labeled “one of the most intelligent” are just the ones who’s intelligence has been studied. If anyone actually studied the others, the ones labeled intelligent not might look dumb. @enzo You can't trust birds. A puffin stole my lens cap while in Iceland and flew to an inaccessible cliff face and taunted me from there. @Leeny haha yes they love mischief! I swear they know exactly what kind of shot I’m trying to get and do everything they can to ensure I just miss it. 😂 |
@enzo And we see just a whiff of the gorgeous orange hiding under his wing…
