Don't think Kiwi is a parrot, but there is a form of New Zealand parrot called Keas. They are found predominantly on South island around the Canterbury area. They are Alpine parrots that frequent the Southern Alps, around Arthurs pass village. They are well known for their cheekiness, as they tend to sit on parked cars and peck the rubber from around the car windscreens. Hoping to get a photo of one next month when I go there.
I'm not really a bird lover,  Cazzer and Harry X are a mine of useful info, I'm a mine of useless info, hence my knowledge of the NZ parrot. ;D
