Sub-adult Kea (Nestor notabilis) attacking a tourist's rubber boot in a car park on the Te Anau-Milford Highway, Fiordland National Park, South Island, New Zealand. ...Then I will bite it. I have a reputation to uphold, you know!
An endangered species, endemic to South Island. Has a reputation for damaging visitors' vehicles and trying to steal food. Visitors are asked not to feed Keas but many take no notice.
