Habitat

The Keas live only in the southern alp's in New Zealand. the Kea is the worlds only alpine parrot and this makes it very unique the Kea does not live in the north island however fossils suggest that they lived their when populations were bigger. They live any where from low lying Valleys to up in the snow the Keas plumage protects it from the cold and this helps it to survive in remote habitats.


Relationships


The main diet of the kea are plants found in alpine areas. They also eat other animals including insects bird eggs and sheep. Keas have been known to eat food from rubbish bins. the main predators of Keas are stoats and possums since they were introduced
