A bird that sounds like someone blowing air over a moonshine jug top.

Have heard them in the wild.
Spent the night on Stewart Island and a few nights later in Doubtful sound, it is really weird as the call booms up the canyon.
The Kea is quite a different beast,
They are a sharp as a six year old, but ten times more mischievous.
They will drink from beer cans, rip the blades from your windscreen wipers, and pull the valves out of your wheels.
It doesn`t end there ....they can remove Screws from wood.
And i swear they understand English.
Had one hide under the Camper van, Looked underneath and just told it to *off, not shouting, and it did!
They look at you with a knowing stare....they know alright.
