After reading that story I realized that the Koreans named one of their cars after a New Zealand parrot.

[tiggerblue10]

North or South?

[stewey]

Kea.

[Ice.Maiden]

Dead parrot? Is that a polygon?

[MWB]

Ohhhh, yes.

Kea's are terrible for destroying things like car fixtures, backpacks, etc.

They don't thieve anything as such.

Brilliant birds, funny & have beautiful colours under their wings.

[Ice.Maiden]

They ARE brilliant - but since they can take a Brazil nut apart, I wouldn't like to get my fingers in the way!

And they're in crossword puzzles all the time,,,,,,good for them.

[MWB]

And Keas can destroy things really fast as well. Blink & the rubber from your car door is pulled out!

Lol.

Quite big birds too.

They're real characters. They'll make you laugh with their antics!

[Ice.Maiden]

Bl00dy hell! It looks like a giant pigeon!! : )

[stewey]

I was in Bogata and this beautiful parrot alighted upon my wrist and attempted to steal my watch! I sort of indicated to him "no way', and he/she followed me around for two or three days......we became buddies.

[MWB]

Nice, beef stew.

:)

[Ice.Maiden]

Hmph! No such luck when I was in Bogota. All that followed ME around were some very "iffy" looking security people!
