About

Drawing parallels between and alpine parrot and a business does sound a little strange. In this section you will learn about the culture and values of Kea Inspire through the lens of the worlds only alpine parrot and one of the most intelligent birds.

The Kea is both mischievous (read fun), inquisitive, collaborative and solution focused. Kea's are incredibly loyal and because of the harsh environment in which they live, they are incredibly resilient. It is these attributes that are of value to Kea Inspire.
