The kārearea/New Zealand falcon is one of my favorite birds. Somewhat known, I would still say it’s a pretty underrated species here, not often getting as much attention as other flashier birds – {cough, cough, kea}. You might have seen them featured on the $20 note.

The Kea is NOT a flashy, colorful bird, it is rather gray and has just a few red feathers, it is a paarot but acts more like a hawk. https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/啄羊鹦鹉
啄羊鸚鵡（學名：Nestor notabilis）是生活在新西蘭南島高山地帶的一種大型鸚鵡，屬於啄羊鸚鵡屬的一種。
啄羊鸚鵡體長約48厘米。身體大部分為橄欖綠色，頭頂和頸部為黃綠色。公鳥比母鳥的喙更為彎曲。食性很雜，主要以樹葉、水果、漿果、昆蟲、以及動物死屍，人類的垃圾、廚餘等為食[2][3]，但是因為其中文名稱的原因，許多人會將其誤人為食肉動物。
啄羊鸚鵡是公認的智商最高的鳥類之一，它們能對未來發生的事情做出簡單的預測，並在未經過訓練的情況下打開各種機關，這些鳥類十分貪玩。
