The Legend of the Kea

One legendary day birds of many colours had a peaceful land where they lived harmoniously sharing all the berries, fruits and nectar altogether. All of the colourful birds had the same birdsong and had the same features, and the same language. Krikta the kea was so smart and mischievious, and so cheeky! Suddenly the time of quarrelling started. Ka the ruler of all of the birds was disappointed with all of the birds and he started to make the land pour with rain and storms and it was very dark. Ka banished all of the colourful birds and suddenly Ka took the other birds birdsong and took all of the birds feathers. Only one bird called Krikta the kea didn't go to Ka. Krikta stole the beak, strong wings and very sharp claws. Ka banished the other  birds like the tomtit, grey warbler and the silver eyes and gave them small beaks to eat insects and spiders. Ka gave all the birds jobs, different features and perches, except for the sneaky Krikta the kea. Ka gave the NZ falcon a cruel beak with the taste of blood and the seagull had the black mark of shame. The ruler of all birds banished the Kea's to have a different perch out of all of the birds, deep in the snowy mountains. Krikta the kea had no more birdsong but kept his sharp claws and beak.
