EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by Fredrik Norrsell, two young adult keas are seen engaging in a charming courtship dance amidst the breathtaking Arrowsmith Range of New Zealand's South Island. These mischievous parrots, known as Nestor notabilis, are renowned for their intelligence and playful nature. Against a backdrop of pristine white snow and rugged alpine terrain, these lovebirds showcase their unique courtship behaviors with gusto. With their vibrant brown feathers contrasting against the cold environment, they proudly display their colorful beaks and engage in an intricate series of hops, jumps, and wing flutters. Located within the Hakatere Conservation Park near Methven, this protected area provides a safe haven for these fascinating creatures to thrive. The image beautifully captures the harmony between wildlife and its natural habitat. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene from Ardea Picture Library's collection, it serves as a reminder that love knows no bounds – even among our feathered friends! So next time you find yourself exploring New Zealand's stunning landscapes or encountering wildlife up close, keep an eye out for these charismatic keas who know how to put on quite the show.
