> Now I've gotten on a YouTube binge and landed on New Zealand keas, which I didn't know about before. And damn are those birds intelligent.

They're also utterly fearless, to the point of being disturbing.

I'd never had a wild bird come up and approach to less than arm-length, and not flinch or worry about what I was doing with my camera/tripod/etc.

I backed up, repeatedly, and it just kept getting closer.
