Summary: The true story of Wananga, a kea that was poisoned by lead, but recovered to be released again into the wild. Kea are the world's only alpine parrot, highly intelligent and famous for their cheeky, often naughty behaviour. They are, however, endangered, and while predators are the main reason for this, they are also very vulnerable to lead poisoning from lead-head nails on iron roofs. (Publisher)
