The bird that eats cars………

[Dingo]

This is a NZ Kea, a kind of parrot but they fly like a hawk. I saw one in the NZ mountains some years ago, it dive bombed us then landed on another car and began to rip it apart, they are beautiful but destructive…….

Just came across it from a NZ sailing friend and because of our conversation I immediately thought of you.

It’s a big parrot about 19” long but has a very powerful beak, so any seals, mirrors, aerials etc are fair game.

Would expect nothing less down under.
