Introduction: The kiwi bird is a non flying bird and is one of New Zealand's Native birds. Kiwis are being threatened and shortened by hunters, dogs, cats, rats and stoats.
Appearance
The Kiwi stands up to 25 inches tall. It has brown and black feathers, large hind legs, black eyes and a long beak that uses to eat food. Due to its colour, it camouflages easily. Sporting small wings, the kiwi is unable to fly. This means it lives on the forest floor.
Habitat
Commonly found in New Zealand forests, the Kiwi lives, hunts and breads on the ground. Although they are native to NZ, they live around Wellington, Fiordland, North land and Stewart Islands. They are endangered species. The treats from predators are dogs, cats, rats, stoats and human hunters have left only million Kiwis in NZ.
Abilities
Kiwi's have great smell, they can see at night, they can't fly and they are active at night. t far(I think). They have good eyes at night for looking for their food and running away from their predators. They can not fly because they have no wings and they do not look like they will be in good balance. Kiwi's are also active at night because they can camouflage so they use it to hide from their predators.
Diet
Kiwi birds can eat fruit, small crayfish, eels and amphibians. Kiwis eat small invertebrates, seeds, grubs, and many different kinds of worms.
Conclusion: So we know kiwis are endangered how can you save them from going extinct.
