Feathered rat reporting, Sir!

Keas are rumoured to have a flock hunting behaviour where they drive sheep off cliffs and eat the carcass. Yeah, that's right, not all parrot-type birds are seed, insect and misc plant matter eaters.

They're also very very used to humans. That one in the picture is doing a number on the rubber parts of some poor sod's car. They do this for fun, basically, knowing that killing them is illegal and that most people won't come anywhere near that beak.

Import from Singapore, lol. Some time back, I found a crow-eaten pidgeon (or at least its wing and half a leg) just by the road. I take it back about shooting them corbies, just condition them to stay away from humans and eat pidgeons.

That wouldn't be that far fetched since they're one of the smartest (well, from a human point of view) non-mammal species. And one theory is that the human-like brains started to evolve in apes when they started eating more meat... SO I GLADLY WELCOME OUR NEW OVERLORDS, THE KEA!

Well yeah, but consider that this rumour is from amongst .nz sheep herders who've considered the kea a big fucking pest for the last 200 years or so. Used to be a bounty for keas killed, drove them to endangered status.
