Keas have more orange in the wings. Also one big difference from photographer, they fly and away easier to find. I have actually never seen a Kakapo, and now wonder if I ever will this is a perfect example of the importance of proper Caption.

Now Alamy loses some credibility with the buyer, and we all get hurt, Yeah. One flies and the non-flying one pretends to be a shrub. Seventeen pages of Kea parrots on Alamy. One page for Kakapo parrots -- and several are correct and a couple are Keas, and there are a lot of photos of older drawings, and a few glitches. Couple of very nice correctly labeled Kakapo parrots, pity none of those were used. One with wings spread that showed they didn't have the orange and were a bit too stubby for flight.

One with wings spread that showed they didn't have the orange and were a bit too stubby for flight. the search for Kakapo was actually interesting, and worrying. Yes the one image was mislabelled, but there is also a set of 5 images with "wekas and takahes" which appear where i see no Caption and KW using "Kakapo" (though other unrelated birds are KW). side note: Nice to see the Takahe reintroduced in the wild. I had seen a couple on a reintroduction project in Fiordland 15 years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
