Keas are alpine parrots. They're also quite smart, and have discovered that the tourists will feed them to get them to come closer. Which is highly discouraged by any New Zealander, not for the safety of the keas but for the safety of the cars... apparently, some marketing "genius" came up for an idea for a car commercial, where they trained keas to pick all the rubber off of the car. Then they released the keas back into the wild (or the keas were smart enough to escape)... and taught all the other keas to pick apart cars! They like bright shiny things too and will fly off with your camera if given half a chance.
