Homonym: Kiwis (New Zealanders)
Kiwis are small, flightless birds native to New Zealand. They are unique for their long beaks and sensitive nostrils, which help them forage for insects and worms in the ground. Kiwis are nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night, and they have a distinctive brown, fuzzy plumage that provides camouflage in their natural habitat.
In addition to the bird, the term "kiwi" also refers to the kiwifruit, a green fruit with a fuzzy brown exterior. Kiwifruit is rich in vitamins C and K and is known for its sweet and tangy flavor. Both the bird and the fruit are important symbols of New Zealand culture.
