In New Zealand, a family is hiking. They stop at a camp. They put their camera outside and use it to record(录制) the birds there. Some parrots(鹦鹉) fly around the camera. Then, one parrot steals the camera—it takes the camera away in a secret way.

The camera records the parrot flying. Then it records the bird biting(咬) it. The bird bites something off the camera. The bird flies away when the family finds the camera. And the camera is still recording at that time.

This parrot is famous. It likes to steal things. It likes to learn about things. Sometimes it steals wallets, jewelry(珠宝), lunches, and car parts.
