kiwis

There are a few birds that can’t fly like emus, ostriches, penguins and kiwis. Today I will be talking about kiwis. They have very small wings and they mostly live in hollow trees, on the ground under small shrubs or in burrows that they make in the day time. Kiwis are mostly nocturnal animals.

Some weird facts about kiwis, they have lots of different feature of other animals, they are the only birds with nostrils at the end of their beaks. They have feathers that are very much like fur (wow cool). They have whiskers like cats and they also have no tail feathers.  Here are some of the things that they eat like some fallen fruits and invertebrates.    

Kiwis are from New Zealand, and there are only 70,000 kiwis left. Unfortunately there are only five species and they are all endangered L.  New Zealand is losing 2% of kiwis every year. We need to try and save them because they are so cute.

Wow a pretty cool fact about them is they can live up to 25 years old or even 50 year, well depending on the species. You know how usually the male species are bigger than the female’s well it’s not happening here; the female kiwis are bigger than the male kiwis J. Both genders usually get up to 20 inches in height and 2.20 pounds.
