Thank you for sharing these @Neil chace ! Much appreciated !

I can see why the kea is your favourite of these as they are such incredibly intelligent birds and very charismatic and engaging even if they lack the brightly coloured plumage of other parrots.

The keas might very well be my favorite animal to see when I go to Franklin Park Zoo, along with the Hadada ibises in the Tropical Forest and the Hooded cranes and waterfowl in the Children's Zoo.

I can definitely see why , I've only seen them in a couple of zoos but they are such active and engaging birds and that lively intelligence that they have is visible on first glance.
