A month-old baby kea is thriving at the Tracy Aviary after being shipped to Utah from the Denver Zoo while still in its egg.
Kea, scientific name Nestor notabilis, are endangered parrots native to the mountains of New Zealand’s South Island.
They are intelligent and curious, which can make them a nuisance to humans. Local governments in New Zealand paid bounties for killing kea until the practice was ended in 1970, according to a news release from the aviary.
