Kea bird steals food at Ben Lomond Summit

A brave Kea walks up to a group of hikers and steals a bag of nuts from a backpack before flying away. It is seen opening and eating the nuts on a nearby cliff.

Wonderful bird. Great capture. Enjoyed watching Irene

"Do not feed the Kea" - This is what happens when you just feed them once.

Kea said that information expired long ago😂😂😂😂😂

What a wonderful and intelligent bird. 2 Keas tried to steal my food in Mt. Aspiring National Park while I was pee.

[@AishawithanEye]

And now that bag will be on that mountain top forever because no one can reach it but the Kea.

You ever heard of wind and rain.

[@aroha9090]

DEFINITELY not locals. You leave a bag around a kea, expect theft & hijinks

[@gwmkiwi]

These Kea know you better than you know yourself

[@Seabird41]

You shouldn't have told him/her about the nuts. You only have yourself to blame!

[@MeganMarieT]

Haha that’s one smart bird

That guy could get a job with Amazon.

It's a Kea, not a "Kea bird".
