-The '''Kea''' (''Nestor notabilis'') is a [[parrot]] in the family Strigopidae. It is found in the mountains of [[New Zealand]]. The bird is a dark green color, with reddish-orange underwings, visible when it is flying. It's name is [[Maori]], for an imitation of its call.
-It is renowned for its intelligence, with captive birds being able to solve complex puzzles in a few minutes.  It is also considered a pest by New Zealand shepherds, since they sometimes eat the fatty tissue around a living sheep's kidneys.
