In Summer it feeds on seeds, flowers from up to 40 plant species and insects.
It eats other birds and Huttons shearwater chicks (Puffinus huttoni) which they capture breaking their nests.
In Winter, these parrots can feed on the carcasses of animals specially sheep farmed in the hill country which sometimes they attack.
The Kea lives in the forests and alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand.
It can measure 48 cm and weight up to a kilogram!
