===Cognitive abilities=== Kea parrots have strong cognitive abilities. According to recent studies, Kea share the ability to have sense of impulsive control and planning forward. Kea can wait up to 160 seconds for a more preferred reward. In addition, Kea also use trial and error tactics and use observational learning to solve difficult problems and when tasked with puzzles and locks. These abilities of decision-making are similar to primates and other intelligent bird species like the African grey parrot.<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://doi.org/10.1037/com0000086 | doi=10.1037/com0000086 | title=Kea (Nestor notabilis) decide early when to wait in food exchange task | date=2017 | last1=Schwing | first1=Raoul | last2=Weber | first2=Stefan | last3=Bugnyar | first3=Thomas | journal=Journal of Comparative Psychology | volume=131 | issue=4 | pages=269β276 | pmid=28857604 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10071-010-0342-9 | doi=10.1007/s10071-010-0342-9 | title=How do keas (Nestor notabilis) solve artificial-fruit problems with multiple locks? | date=2011 | last1=Miyata | first1=Hiromitsu | last2=Gajdon | first2=Gyula K. | last3=Huber | first3=Ludwig | last4=Fujita | first4=Kazuo | journal=Animal Cognition | volume=14 | issue=1 | pages=45β58 | pmid=20640911 }}</ref>
