The Kiwi bird 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 they use to locate food.
Kiwis are also notable for their distinctive reproductive behavior. The female lays one or two large eggs, which are incubated by both parents. The chicks are precocial, meaning they are relatively mature and mobile shortly after hatching, allowing them to fend for themselves in the wild.
