No, I think he means some kind of big flightless bird, similar to an ostrich.

Incorrect. I mean Kea's native parrot that is a proper little shit and is considered natures vandal. They have also been known to kill sheep.

How? Piercing an artery with its beak, or claws?

Fortunatly, Kea's with that attitude are captured and moved to a sheep free environment.

Ah, the Kea, the worlds only carnivorous and actively predatory parrot.

Indeed:

"Keas live in the high country of the South Island in the forests and the mountains. Originally they evolved from the proto-kaka of a tropical forest environment. Like the rock wren, they remained when these forests moved north in colder times. They then adapted to the colder, harsher climate and alpine environment."

"They are similar in appearance to their close relative in the nestor species, the kaka."
