啄羊鸚鵡(Nestor notabilis)唔單止係紐西蘭獨有嘅鸚鵡,重係世界上唯一一種住喺高山上嘅鸚鵡。之所以叫「啄羊」,係因為佢哋到咗夜晚,佢哋會走到牧羊場度,割開綿羊嘅毛同皮膚,食綿羊皮膚下面嘅脂肪。由於現時啄羊鸚鵡受到法律保護,因此唔可以傷害佢哋,但亦令到啄羊鸚鵡變得越來越大膽。
同澳洲嘅鸚鵡相比,啄羊鸚鵡顏色反而無咁艷麗,墨綠色嘅翼底下為猩紅色。不過仍保留一把尖銳嘅鉤狀咀,好似瑞士刀咁。非常強壯,比其他鸚鵡更加捱得凍。佢哋並唔係成日飛,佢哋會利用好似雪鞋咁對腳,喺雪地上行而唔會陷落去,除非真係有必要先會飛一陣間。
啄羊鸚鵡智商相當好,記得到以前學過嘅嘢,重識得去邊度搵食。啄羊鸚鵡生性膽大好奇,佢哋嘅咀唔單止可以切開樹枝,撬開硬殼果,有時重會割開遊客嘅車窗玻璃、垃圾袋、甚至高空纜車嘅繩索,啄羊鸚鵡有時重會用咀割開啲窗,走入人哋間屋搵嘢食。
啄羊鸚鵡係機會主義者,食嘢亦好雜,比其他鸚鵡更鍾意食肉。喺紐西蘭南部嘅峽谷度,住咗一啲叫灰鸌嘅海鳥BB,啄羊鸚鵡好鍾意走去掘佢哋嘅山窿,夾住佢哋嘅頸或者腳,再將灰鸌BB拖出嚟分屍。
