Description
This image is based on a true story... New Zealand road maintenance crews kept finding their traffic cones mysteriously moved to the middle of the road after they finished for the day. After a close circuit camera was installed the mystery was unraveled. The Kea, an endangered parrot, were moving the cones to block the road and get hand-outs from cars stuck in traffic.
The Kea is considered one of the (if not, "the") most intelligent animal in the world.
Rendered in Poser without postwork. Models include First Bastion's Rural Crossroads and my Songbird ReMix "Threatened, Endangered, Extinct 3" Kea, plus numerous props I modeled (traffic cones, Kea sign, lipstick)
