Kiwi
The Kiwi bird, occurs only in New Zealand. Although primarily a bird of New Zealand’s native forests, Kiwi's also live in scrub and native grasslands. Because the Kiwi is a semi-nocturnal, secretive bird, few New Zealander's have seen their national bird in the wild.
The Kiwi is the sole survivor of an ancient order of birds including the now extinct moa's. A flightless bird about the size of a domestic fowl, the Kiwi has coarse, bristly, hair-like feathers. Females are larger than males.
Kiwi's grow to about the size of a chicken and weigh between three and nine pounds. They have no tail and tiny two inch wings which for all practical purposes, are useless. Despite its awkward appearance, a kiwi can actually outrun a human and have managed to survive because of their alertness and their sharp, three-toed feet, which enable them to kick and slash an enemy.
The kiwi’s long slender bill has nostrils at the lower end. Using its excellent sense of smell and flexible bill, the kiwi feeds on worms, insects and grubs, supplemented by leaves, berries and seeds. There are five kinds of kiwi in New Zealand - three closely related... Brown Kiwis, the Little Spotted Kiwi and the Great Spotted Kiwi.
