They are arguably the smartest birds in the world and are known for using tools to aid them in their mischievous behavior. I spotted these curious little buggers on the Tasman Glacier and enjoyed watching them peck at our ice axes. These are mature kea, the juveniles have a yellow ring around their eyes and beak, which fades to grey with age. | Tori Harp | Facebook
