A BRAZEN parrot, which spotted a Scottish man's passport in a bag in a bus luggage compartment nabbed the document and made off into the bush with it.
The bird - a parrot of the Kea variety - made its move while the bus had stopped along the highway to Milford Sound in the South Island, and the driver was looking through the compartment. Milford Sound, which runs inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock face, is part of Fiordland National Park, a world heritage site and major travel destination.

I guess it's not quite so funny if it's YOUR passport! That's one very cheeky frequent flier!
