Kea: 120 Days From Egg to Survival | Born Beneath the Alpine Rocks

Deep beneath tangled tree roots and dark alpine rocks, a Kea family begins an extraordinary 120-day survival journey in the mountains of New Zealand. Hidden inside a narrow natural cavity, the young family must endure cold rain, violent storms, hunger, and predators searching through the surrounding forest. When the chicks hatch, they are tiny, weak, and covered in soft gray down. They depend completely on their mother for warmth, protection, and food. The father travels across the rugged mountain landscape searching for natural food, returning to feed the mother, who then carefully regurgitates the meal for her hungry chicks. Day by day, the young Kea become stronger. Their olive-green feathers begin to appear, their powerful curved beaks develop, and their famous curiosity slowly emerges. They crowd around their mother with open beaks, competing for every mouthful while remaining hidden inside the safety of the nest. After 120 days, the helpless chicks have transformed into strong young mountain parrots, ready to leave the dark cavity and begin their own survival journey through the wild landscapes of New Zealand. #Kea #KeaSurvival #BirdSurvival #MountainSurvival #BabyKea #KeaChicks #MountainParrot #NewZealandBirds #AlpineWildlife #WildlifeDocumentary #AnimalSurvival
