Naughty bird!

In New Zealand, a kea (type of parrot) stole a Go-Pro from a family and took a flight with it, before landing and attacking it, presumably hoping it was edible. The family followed the sounds of the kea flock and where able to find the camera!

Cool footage: https://youtu.be/0snPCxOO0IE

Wow, that's wild!

I'm glad they were able to recover the Go-Pro!! The keas are well known for pinching things from tourists, and also for stealing windscreen wipers from cars!! But hey, you never know what might be edible, right?! :D :D :D

Exactly. You have to test things, just to be sure... I think dogs are like that, too.

My wife has a photo of a kea menacing her slice of cake.

That is hilarious! I'm glad the family found the camera with only the one small piece of plastic torn off. It obviously still worked . . . ;)

Still worked, and what footage!! :D
