We don't have these in the wild in NZ so it's always interesting
when we go to Aus and see them frolicking about. This fellow let
me get fairly close.

Good shot - we've got lots of them here. Noisy buggers when you
get a flock of 20 or so.
I bet they are. Just one can be painfully loud at close range.
It seems they've developed a taste for polystyrene too...

I think they just get their kicks from chewing on things they have no
intention of eating. They've been known to systematically gnaw their
way through timber decking supports. In our yard they like to chew
through small branches at the top of the eucalypts just to watch them
fall. I think they're our equivalent of your Keas.
PS hope you weren't too badly affected by the storm!
Thanks - western Sydney got off pretty lightly. Lots of rain but no
serious wind.
