Back in my days in NZ while in the Navy I went up a mountain near Blenheim with friend. He had a Range Rover and I figured we would be good to go. Well, we got stuck in some deep rotten snow and had to dig ourselves out. While we were doing so a Kea came up to us and we were amazed at how tame he/she was, seemingly. It was very curious at everything we did, even jumping on the shovel as if to help. It never got aggressive, nor was it a nuisance really, just persistent!
