The Amazing Kiwi Bird

The kiwi is New Zealand's national bird. It is a flightless bird that lives in forests and bushy areas. Kiwi birds have long beaks and small wings that are hidden under their feathers. They are nocturnal, which means they come out at night to search for food. Kiwi birds use their excellent sense of smell to find worms, insects, and berries in the soil. Female kiwi birds lay very large eggs compared to their body size. A kiwi egg can weigh up to 450 grams!
