Kleptomaniac Bird Records Lovely Footage of National Park

The New Zealand parrot called a kea has been known to steal interesting objects from humans. In this case, a family visiting Fiordland National Park were recording a kea when the bird decided to take that GoPro camera. It flew off and got some nice footage of the scenery. Away from the people, the kea decided to eat the camera, but had some difficulty snapping off a small piece. It probably didn't like the way the plastic tasted, either. But how was the camera found? The bird's flight was not as far as it appeared to us, and the family followed it visually and then heard the commotion as he tried to tear the GoPro apart. -via Boing Boing
