Polly wants a passport - and isn't above stealing one.
A brazen parrot, which spotted a Scottish man's passport in a coloured bag in the luggage compartment under a tour bus, nabbed the document and made off into dense bush with it, the Southland Times newspaper reported on Friday.
The bird - a parrot of the Kea variety - made its move while the bus had stopped along the highway to Milford Sound in the South Island, and the driver was looking through the compartment. Milford Sound, which runs inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock face, is part of Fiordland National Park, a world heritage site and major travel destination.
