New Zealand’s alpine parrot, the kea, is well known for its comical and destructive antics, tearing wiper blades off cars and disembowelling backpacks. The tiny rock wren is a member of the ancient New Zealand wren family, and the pipit is found in open areas from beaches to the high country. The welcome swallow is a recent arrival which builds distinctive mud nests.
