A pioneering work of natural history, this field study by the young Curator at Wanganui Museum attempted to determine if widespread reports of kea killing and eating sheep were accurate or folklore. In the process, he explores the South Island High Country, talks to farmers, and compiles observations and life history of this intelligent and destructive native bird. Sadly this was Marriner's only book; he died two years later from appendicitis at the age of 31.
