Funded by Canterbury Community Trust (CCT)

This page provides educators with easy to access information on kea to utilise in their education programmes. We will be updating this information as funding allows. If you do use these resources, we would love to hear your feedback so that we can provide a better programme in the future.

Additional information can be found throughout our website and includes links to some great short videos (including our LEARNZ kea virtual field trip in Arthur’s Pass), recordings of kea calls and fun games and information for kids.

During 2014 we are aiming to set up a number of short narrated powerpoint presentations on a range of subjects including kea intelligence, human-kea conflict and general information on population status and our ongoing research projects.
