alt Hacker NewsIf they are the pranksters, I wonder what that makes the Kea. I think they are counted as smarter, they definitely enjoy a bit of malicious fun.

I liked the Kea messing with traffic cones and redirecting traffic, apparently slowing cars and getting fed.

Weka can be a lot of fun too, I saw a pack of them opening someone's backpack zipper to find out what's inside.

Local legend has it Kea work it groups. Team work
One group will entertain the tourists (in mountain huts in the back country) by putting on ammusing displays of acrobatics and hijinks
The other team use razor sharp claws and beaks to open thir packs and get to all the interesting stuff inside

Keas are gremlins but real.
The most accurate representation of "Chaotic Neutral" - the cheeky bastards love stealing ANYTHING, and when there's nothing to steal they'll start ripping the rubber off your car door seals (or windshield wipers).
They are amazing birds, very deserving of the name "Clown of the Mountains".
