Potoo
Ah, the Potoo. A little guy with a big personality, their huge eyes have often made them the subject of memes. But look past the memes and you’ll see an interesting little fellow. They are similar to the tawny frogmouth, even related to them, as they have a large mouth for catching insects. Unlike the frogmouth, however, they will pounce on prey (which is usually insects), taking it back to their perch to eat it. They are sometimes known to also eat birds and bats. Learn More!
Kea
The worlds only living alpine parrot, the Kea bird is a rambunctious, mischievous scamp! Native to New Zealand, they are often a nuisance to people visiting the mountains, as they will pick at the rubber parts of cars. They have also been shown to be very playful with one another, and what’s closely related to playing? Intelligence! They are also a very intelligent bird, observing and calculating the best way to get food. They are, sadly, endangered. Learn More! Comedy! Longer!
