Kiwi are flightless birds. They have strong
leg muscles with sharp claws.
The bird is the national symbol of New Zealand.
Its image is on the national emblem and the New Zealand dollar.
There are no
live Kiwis left in the wild. In the past 100 years, kiwi numbers have decreased
from several million to several thousand.
Out of all the birds I have posted on this blog, the kiwi is probably the least glamorous! I am reminded of the Kiwifruit - its also very brown and uninteresting on the outside, but the fruit inside is delicious.
