The world’s only alpine parrot – the curious, clever, and often mischievous kea
Photographed here in its natural habitat in Otira, New Zealand, with the snow-covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. These endangered birds are full of personality and play a vital role in our mountain ecosystems.
Let’s protect what’s left.

I cannot say positively that there exists someone who can *recommend* some. I can point to some, but this does not constitute a recommendation, and you'll have to do some investigation. (-:

@beyondwatts Adding #kea to my https://github.com/gitbls/ndm DNS/DHCP tool has been on my list for a while. Maybe it's time to get off my arse and git 'er done.
The homelab has been stable for a while now so it’s time to mix things up. Moving DHCP and DNS from the Synology NAS onto a primary/secondary set up in a pair of #raspberrypi that I had left over from the old cluster.
Today DHCP is moving to #Kea and once the dynamic DNS entries have been created, I’ll switch the DNS server over to #PowerDNS.
What could possibly go wrong?
We’re lucky to share our mountains with the world’s only alpine parrot — the clever and cheeky kea. Endemic to New Zealand, they’re full of personality… and mischief! If you’ve ever met one, you’ll know just how naughty they can be! They are extremely intelligent but will steal anything they are able to grab, as well as pulling trim off vehicles.
@noondlyt Nice! Here In New Zealand our kea (alpine parrots) have a slightly different approach to road cones.
A Kea comes into land on a snow-covered tree in Arthur’s Pass National Park. Native to us here in New Zealand’s South Island, Kea are the world’s only alpine parrot—clever, curious, and full of mischief.
New Study out zum #KumuliertenEnergieverbrauch #KEA #GraueEnergie im #gebaudesektor
Zur Reduktion des kumulierten Energieaufwand muss deshalb die #Sanierungsaktivität und die
#Effizienzanforderungen an #Neubauten und #Bestandsanierungen erhöht werden. Sowie #Leichtbau und der Einsatz von #nachwachsendenRohstoffen #NaWaRo zu fördern. Dafür sind zentrale politische Instrumente, das Qualitätssiegel #NachhaltigesGebäude, die #BEG, und das #GEG weiterzuentwickeln!

@iscdotorg O.K. I'm curious to see what the new #Kea 3.0 release will bring.
I'm quite happy with my current setup under #archlinux. I wrote about my experiences in my #BLOG:

"Lift off"
Taken in Arthurs Pass New Zealand/Aotearoa: a Kea about to take off and play chicken with the visiting paparazzi. Needless to say I was the one that shifted rather quickly #Birds #Photography #Kea
