That kea description is wrong. They are not an anti hero, they're just a menace. Imagine the destruction of a genius toddler with wings and a knife. That's basically a kea.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 26 points 6 months ago

I wanted to be a Kea at first but now I really want to be a Kea.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I already chose kea, you don’t have to keep trying to convince me.

thinks he's a Kea

actually a Kākāpō

Kea:

  • Actually a genius
  • Will fuck with your shit
  • Will watch from a distance as you discover your broken shit, will enjoy watching you #WinningAtLife

Kereru:

  • Big, bold and loud
  • If I don't like you, I will shit on you, head to toe coverage
  • Why is this branch touching the ground

Touhou fans: >:€ ITS FUCKING SPELLED T O U H O U GODDAMMIT

Just according to kakapo. I mean kereru. I mean keikaku.

(Translator's note: keikaku means plan)

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'd love to meet a Kakapo! I know that is probably not advisable for either of us, and I wouldn't, but I feel like it would be cool

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 3 points 5 months ago

It could turn into an interesting meeting for sure!

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 months ago

Had doubts about the Kākāpō, but then I reached the "mostly foliage" part and knew I'd found the match.

[–] Nounka@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I guess a kakapo and a kiwi met one day. Now i am a nocturnal horny bird who only gets suggels and feels lonely.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Wrong wrong wrong. Was this made by an Aussie? No mention of the fact Tuis like to get drunk af. And where is the Weka? Aka Kiwi with balls.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I'll take Swamp Dinosaur roaming the steaming wetlands of Didjabringabeeralong. Hot damn that sounds fun!

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

I'm basically a cat

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I'm a mix of Kiwi and Kākāpō.

[–] Ghost33313@beehaw.org 1 points 5 months ago

Stuck between ruru or Kea.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

Kakapo. Off to shag someone's head now

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

I've read kiwis are forest floor bullies, isn't that true?
