The kiwi bird is a unique and endangered flightless bird native to New Zealand. It has small, round body covered in soft, brownish feathers, and its most distinctive feature is its long, slender beak that resembles the shape of a kiwifruit. The kiwi bird is known for its nocturnal habits, keen sense of smell, and its ability to lay large eggs relative to its body size. Despite its cute appearance, the kiwi bird faces numerous threats, including habitat loss and predation by introduced species. Efforts are underway to protect and conserve this iconic symbol of New Zealand's wildlife.
