really.......who supplied the coolaid in that drinking fountain??? my sister lives in waikato on a dairy farm not far from puketurua..actually between there and the arapuni dam..she has fruit trees on the farm OLD OLD oldschool fruit called a cumquat??? its like an apricot with taste between that and carrot..every year just as the yripen KAKA turn up....thats a long way to fly from maungatautiri reserve but turn up they do. there might be no huts/lead head nails in area these kea were (caught and stuck with needle to get blood sample before being released?) living in at time of testing.
but sure as God made little green apples the flappy things on either side of those green parrots allow them to venture elsewhere.
