Keas: The Cheeky Thieves

Keas, native to New Zealand, are notorious for their cheeky behavior and mischievous antics. These highly intelligent parrots love to explore and often get into trouble by stealing items from unsuspecting tourists. They’ve been known to swipe everything from keys to snacks, showing no fear of humans.

Keas are also famous for their playful nature. They enjoy snowboarding down snowy slopes on their backs and playing with each other in what looks like elaborate games of tag. Their playful and sometimes naughty behavior makes keas one of the funniest birds to watch.

Lyrebirds: The Sound Imitators

Lyrebirds are perhaps the most talented mimics in the bird world, capable of imitating a wide range of sounds with astonishing accuracy. From chainsaws to camera shutters, lyrebirds can replicate almost any sound they hear, often to hilarious effect.

In the wild, lyrebirds use their mimicry skills to attract mates, but in captivity, they often pick up on the sounds around them, leading to some incredibly funny performances. Their ability to mimic human-made sounds with such precision is both impressive and amusing.
