Today’s critter is definitely one of our ‘cuter’ ones, but with an interestingly gross habit. Antipodes Island Parakeet is known to prey on seabirds and scavenge carcasses on the remote Subantarctic Antipodes Island.
Instead of living in trees, these birds nest underground and hop amongst the windswept tussocks of Antipodes Island.
