Kiwi

Kiwis are flightless birds native to New Zealand, with hairlike feathers, small wings and long bills. Nostrils near the bill tip help them investigate the ground for food. Many forage mainly at night, taking worms, insects and other small foods. Their sturdy legs support movement through forest litter and other dense vegetation. Kiwis nest in sheltered sites such as burrows, and their eggs are large relative to the adult's body. The common name covers several species with different ranges and calls.
