The Kiwi
The most famous bird in New Zealand is the kiwi. Most kiwi birds are brown and about the same size as a chicken. The kiwi is famous because it cannot fly. People from New Zealand are often called kiwis because of their famous birds.
Kiwi birds cannot fly because hundreds of years ago there were no animals in New Zealand except bats and sea animals like dolphins. The kiwi did not need to fly to get away from anything. It was safe.
Kiwi birds cannot see very well. They find food by smelling it. They are the only birds in the world with nostrils at the end of their long bill. In some ways they are more like a land animal than a bird. If anyone comes near, they run away. Then they stand and smell the air to see if it is safe.
Kiwi birds are difficult to see, because they are the colour of the earth. They live in thick trees in quiet areas and they come out at night, not in the day.
Now the kiwi is an endangered bird. Most New Zealanders can see them only in a zoo. This is because of the animals that came to the islands with Europeans. Some of them began to kill and eat the kiwi birds. People also cut down many trees where the kiwi likes to live. Today there are only about seventy thousand left in the country.
