and i have discovered that the in-game kea is not any different from keas in real life, as they are very intelligent and love to steal.

And the giant kea is logically very bloodthirsty. Like the giant kea that strangled a herbalist to death with a wing based chokehold and flew away without stealing anything.

My avatar shows the reason.

Human King: "So, how was your travel to dwarven lands?"
Human Diplomat: "Never piss off the dwarves, they have an army of hydras"

Dwarf Cook: "Another baby hydra meat roast coming up!"

Yes.  Just like in real life, these 2 pound birds will just *know* when you've left your 125 pound anvil outside and will immediately fly off with it.

Zombie kea will steal stuff too, just like the regular kind.

Thankfully, real kea have shown no evidence of latent psychokinetic abilities thus far.

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.

If we do, they need to have a preference for refuse piles; picking up rotting bits and bobs, and dropping them all over the place from altitude. (and being relentless about doing so.)

Engraved on the floor is a well-designed image of a kobold and a carp.  The kobold is making a plaintive gesture.  The carp is laughing.

Why do keas show up in so many biomes anyway?  Shouldn't they be restricted to tropical forests?
