047 Kea

Soaring over the rugged ridges
of New Zealand’s Southern Alps,
the Kea is a clever and playful parrot —
the only parrot in the world
that calls alpine mountains home.

Through snow, ice,
and rocky crevices,
the Kea never loses its curiosity.
Anything new must be inspected up close,
and sometimes pulled, nudged, or tested —
it’s a true explorer of the wild.

Kea are incredibly intelligent.
They solve problems,
work together like a team,
and their mischievous antics
often surprise anyone who meets them.
Their charm doesn’t come from being cute —
it comes from being smart.

But Kea face real threats today —
habitat loss, vehicle collisions,
and fishing hook injuries
are putting them at risk.
That’s why we support
the Kea Conservation Trust
to help protect these alpine parrots.
Your small choice
helps protect the skies
above New Zealand’s Southern Alps.

Our EUGY Kea captures
the bold red feathers hidden under their wings,
their bright and clever gaze,
and that endless curiosity.
As you build each piece,
you’ll feel the mountain wind
and imagine a Kea taking off playfully
from a high ridge above the clouds.
