That kea description is wrong. They are not an anti hero, they're just a menace. Imagine the destruction of a genius toddler with wings and a knife. That's basically a kea.

I wanted to be a Kea at first but now I really want to be a Kea.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I already chose kea, you don’t have to keep trying to convince me.

thinks he's a Kea

actually a Kākāpō

Kea:

  • Actually a genius
  • Will fuck with your shit
  • Will watch from a distance as you discover your broken shit, will enjoy watching you #WinningAtLife

Kereru:

  • Big, bold and loud
  • If I don't like you, I will shit on you, head to toe coverage
  • Why is this branch touching the ground

Touhou fans: >:€ ITS FUCKING SPELLED T O U H O U GODDAMMIT

[–] BleakBluets@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Just according to kakapo. I mean kereru. I mean keikaku.

(Translator's note: keikaku means plan)

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd love to meet a Kakapo! I know that is probably not advisable for either of us, and I wouldn't, but I feel like it would be cool

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

It could turn into an interesting meeting for sure!

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

just excited to be here

🙋‍♂️

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Had doubts about the Kākāpō, but then I reached the "mostly foliage" part and knew I'd found the match.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Well, I can only be Kakapo.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

"Yeah I'm totally a Kea" Your average kakapo

I guess a kakapo and a kiwi met one day. Now i am a nocturnal horny bird who only gets suggels and feels lonely.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Wrong wrong wrong. Was this made by an Aussie? No mention of the fact Tuis like to get drunk af. And where is the Weka? Aka Kiwi with balls.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I'm basically a cat

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm a mix of Kiwi and Kākāpō.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Kakapo. Off to shag someone's head now

[–] Ghost33313@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Stuck between ruru or Kea.
