The kiwi is a flightless bird native to New Zealand. It is known for its small size, long beak, and brown, fuzzy feathers. Kiwis are nocturnal and primarily feed on insects, worms, and fruits found in the forest floor. They are unique among birds due to their keen sense of smell, which helps them locate food. Kiwis are also notable for their reproductive habits. They lay one of the largest eggs relative to their body size of any bird species. The male kiwi incubates the egg, which can take up to 90 days to hatch, showcasing a unique aspect of their parenting behavior.
