| KEA, mountasin parrot:
Price: US$29.95 (includes shipping cost). Duration approx 55 minutes.
The kea is a survivor. When settlers introduced sheep to the high country,
it made its home amidst the majestic glaciers and windswept snowy
valleys of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Some people call them the
‘clowns of the alps’ — others say they are hooligans, vandals and even
killers, though they are superb parents and resourceful providers.
Come along with Wild South and experience a year in the Southern Alps as we
capture, for the first time on film, the revealing and controversial
survival techniques of this bold and enterprising mountain parrot, the
kea.
