Drinking Keas Parrot Parrots South Island Nestor Notabilis

EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a water fountain when you have a fence? Kea - the daring parrot of Otira Gorge, showing off its unique drinking skills!". In this hilarious snapshot captured by Don Hadden, we witness the incredible ingenuity of a kea named DH-4704 as it attempts to quench its thirst from an unlikely source. Perched high above the stunning Otira Gorge lookout in Westland, South Island, New Zealand, this tropical bird proves that even in the wild, hydration can be an adventure. With its vibrant plumage and mischievous expression, DH-4704 seems determined to make use of every available resource. Who could blame it for trying to drink from a remnant of water perched on top of a fence? After all, why settle for ordinary when you can turn everyday objects into your personal oasis? As one of New Zealand's most iconic birds, keas are known for their intelligence and playful nature. This photo perfectly captures their curious spirit and ability to adapt in any situation. Whether they're exploring new feeding grounds or finding creative ways to stay hydrated like our feathery friend here. So next time you find yourself parched and searching for refreshment, take inspiration from DH-4704 - embrace your inner adventurer and think outside the box! And remember: sometimes all it takes is a little imagination (and maybe some acrobatics) to satisfy your thirst.
