Nestor notabilis Gould, 1856

Kea (Nestor notabilis) är en av två arter papegoja i släktet Nestor. Den är delvis nattaktiv och endemisk för bergen på Nya Zeeland. Kean är den enda papegoja som kan leva i alpina områden och den är också den enda arten av papegoja som anfaller och dödar andra ryggradsdjur, även om detta är ganska sällsynt och troligen endast sker med sjuka eller fångade djur. Den är också känd som intelligent, aktiv och lekfull.
