The kea (Nestor notabilis) is the world’s only alpine parrot—clever, curious, and full of character.
Photographed here mid-call, this juvenile is part of a nationally endangered species found only in New Zealand.
The Kea Conservation Trust estimates fewer than 7,000 individuals remain in the wild. Threats include lead poisoning, predation, habitat loss, and human conflict.

The world’s only alpine parrot – the curious, clever, and often mischievous kea 🦜
Photographed here in its natural habitat in Otira, New Zealand, with the snow-covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. These endangered birds are full of personality and play a vital role in our mountain ecosystems.
Let’s protect what’s left.

I bought my first pair of #AlpineParrot pants during their Kickstarter campaign. Those pants are over 4 years old now and still going strong.
This makes me so sad! 😭
As a tall, curvy woman I've always struggled to find pants that fit – especially hiking pants. I was THRILLED the first time I tried on Alpine Parrot pants. They fit beautifully, are super comfortable, and have lots of handy pockets. I pack my two pairs of #AlpineParrot pants EVERY TIME I go backpacking or hiking.
So sad they're closing. I've gone ahead and bought 4 more pairs so they'll last me for a while.
