The yellow eyelid and cere (above the beak) mean this was a young kea. In about three years time the yellow will fade into a greyish colour.
And chances are you will encounter these young birds on most of your trips. These juvenile birds are the boldest and most curious 🦜
We had 14 kea flying around the French Ridge Hut 🙌
