The amazing team at Kingswood Skis have sponsored this delightful, placid young male kea. Unfortunately Tenacious D was found dead in September 2020, seemingly struck by vehicle. His remains were given to DOC, to be sent for post mortem and liver lead. Kingswood Skis is a handmade ski company based in Lyttelton. Kingswood owners and customers have seen the sharp decline in kea firsthand. These cheeky birds always played a starring role in the Canterbury club ski field experience - you learned quickly not to leave your gloves and goggles on the deck when you went into the hut for a cuppa! This year, we didn’t see a single kea at Mount Olympus. Kingswood decided to sponsor a kea and ask our community to help with sightings. We left the naming to our crowd! Tenacious D seemed like a hopeful name for a declining species .
