Cheeky NZ Kea on the side of the road near a popular lookout

---

Returning from Milford Sound along the Milford Sound Highway heading towards Te Anau we stopped to admire the view at the lookout and came across this cheeky Kea who went from the branches to the road to out external mirrors and thought about going inside but I persuaded him/her to stay outside. They are very intelligent and they know who's they are.
