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 on the forest floor. They are unique among birds because they have nostrils at the end of their beaks, which helps them forage for food. Kiwis are also notable for their egg-laying habits. A female kiwi typically lays one large egg, which can weigh up to a quarter of her body weight. The male incubates the egg, and both parents are involved in raising the chicks once they hatch.
