LOOKING PERKY: Jake the one-legged kea in his new enclosure at Natureland Zoo. Photo: COLIN SMITH/Fairfax NZJake the one-legged kea is settling into his new home at Natureland Zoo and he seems to be getting around just fine.
The two-year-old kea was rescued by cousins Jake and Christian Jenner when they found him with a broken leg near Lake Rotoiti.
Jake, 10, said he and Christian, 13, saw the injured kea hopping along a road while they were pig hunting last October.
"We picked him up, put him in a sack and took him home and rang up Natureland," he said.
Natureland Zoo operations manager Gail Sutton said the kea's right leg had a compound fracture as a result of being caught in a trap.
