www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/a-parrot-stole-a-gopro-and-inadvertently-recorded-itself-flying-off-with-it/ar-AATteFU?ocid=msedgntpA New Zealand parrot stole a GoPro and managed to film the entire escapade.
The rare parrot, called a kea, is known for its cheeky and clever nature.
The GoPro owner said she was shocked to find the camera had been filming the whole time.
A New Zealand parrot swiped a GoPro from its owners and managed to film the crime as it flew off, according to local reports.
After the bird landed, the camera continued filming as the bird made a frenzied attack on the kit, issuing its high-pitched cry. Its hacked at the camera with its beak, pulling off small pieces.
According to New Zealand news channel 1news, the theft took place in the picturesque Fiordland National Park, where GoPro owner Alex Verheul was staying in a lodge with her family.
Verheul told the channel that when she got back the camera, she was shocked to see it had captured the footage.
She found the camera by following the bird's calls to a rocky outcrop, she told the channel, where she found several keas "hanging out in a tree."

I misread that as an IKea parrot and thought, dang, they sell everything now.  |

And on top of that there was a question about a parrot in NZ on a trivia board that I frequent. I think I'm being stalked by parrots  ETA: glad they got the camera back so this could be posted. |
