2. Kiwi The Kiwi is a species of flightless birds found in New Zealand. The name is a Maori word referring to the loud call of the male. Kiwis are grayish brown birds the size of a chicken. Kiwis are unusual in many respects: the wings are hidden within the plumage; the nostrils are at the tip (rather than the base) of the long, flexible bill; the feathers are soft and hairlike; the legs are short and muscular; and each of the four toes has a large claw. The eyes are small and inefficient in full daylight.

3. Dwelling in forests, kiwis sleep by day in burrows and look for food--worms, insects and their larvae, and berries--by night. They can run swiftly when required; when trapped they use their claws in defense. Text adapted from Britannica.com
