The noise they make sounds like they've just found you in a game of hide-and-seek. Destructive little fuckers though, I'm glad they live on the other side of the world.

I was convinced it must have been set up with some bait as the bird carried on pecking at it for so long, but it turns out it just hates technology!

That bird flew a long way well out of sight of the house. There is no way anyone could have covered the distance and located the camera in ninety seconds. The cut at 1:45 shows the end was staged.

I'm not sure TBH - the bird flies over some trees but circles back a bit before landing and it's quite possible they saw the rough area it landed in, and it would be fairly easy to spot a Kea laying into a GoPro from a reasonable distance.

and some also have GPS, all of which can aid in locating them if you're within range.
