Unfortunately the people of New Zealand wouldn't agree with this. Kias have a reputation for devouring cars and houses. But they're protected so they can't do anything about it.

edible cars!

Wow! :D
I thought it if it were a bird doing that, it would surely be a roc! *chuckle*
I guess they'd have pretty good reason to be cynical about these mischievous critters then...

So um.. If a kia eats a Kia, is it a kannibble? *hugs n scritches ya*

More for being just a "Bird-Brain"

Yay for the advancement of birds!

I keep telling my feline friends all along about how we feathered folks are the smartest creatures on the planet. But do they listen to me? Nooooooo. :>

It's called a "kea", not a "kia". And they chew bits off cars. I don't remember seeing any Kia cars in New Zealand.

Thanks for the correction in spelling, Whyrliebird.. :>
It was on tv and I didn't see any captions, so I was just going by the sound of the word *warble*
