This wee fella is a Kea. A New Zealand native alpine parrot. We’ve seen many Kea before, they’re usually found in alpine environments of the South Island which are some of our favourite areas – such as Fiordland National Park and Arthur’s Pass.

Southern Katipo 2013
These images are from the Bluff portion of Southern Katipo 2013. This combined the New Zealand Defence Force and various allies and partners from around the world. Over a two week period they have been carrying out various exercises in the fictional country Mainlandia.
As part of the exercise the HMNZS Canterbury and the French Frigate came to Bluff to evacuate a pre-selected group of people acting as ex-pat New Zealanders needing to be evacuated from Mainlandia.
