This was a juvenile (yellow beak) and adult male Kea who were having a fun time playing

I didn’t get a good photo that captured their red wings underneath, but you can see bits of it in the feathers here

And in the morning the Kea would come to visit at the hut, they’d learnt some not great behaviours about where to find interesting things.

Canada has bear caches to stop bears getting into backpackers food.
New Zealand has a Kea cache.
