Meet the Locals: Kea

Season 5, episode 52: The kea, known to many of us for its high altitude antics, is in trouble. Once common around the South Island mountains, it is now thought to number only around a few thousand birds.
Meet the Locals is a series of mini-documentaries about New Zealand's wildlife, wild places and the people working to protect them.
Each four-minute episode showcases the inspiring work of local communities, businesses and individuals, who make a difference to protecting our natural areas, native species and historic places.
Meet the Locals is a partnership between DOC and TVNZ.
