World's Only Alpine Parrot - Kea
Kati the Kea stands on 'no feeding' sign at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch, New Zealand on December 20, 2019. Kati the Kea's upper mandible was completely missing. Because of he had no upper beak it was difficult to tell what sex he was, so he was named Kati. The Kea is a native New Zealand bird and it is endemic to the Southern Alps of New Zealand's South Island. The world’s only mountain parrot Kea is currently an endangered species.
