You can help kea
Kea on pack, outside a hut, Fiordland
National Park
Help from the public is important to identify banded birds. If you see a banded bird note what it was doing (including any damage it was doing - if any) and report the band colour combination or numbers to the nearest Department of Conservation office. Do not feed kea.
Removing temptation
By removing temptations from kea, at human haunts, like boots, packs, food, car window wipers and brightly coloured objects, you can help minimise contact with kea and help to keep this alpine character wild.
