Do you know what bird that can’t fly but is a national treasure if you guessed the kiwi bird you are correct. Now some fun facts do you know kiwis lifespan is approximately 30-50 years, kiwi height is 33-63 centimeters. Kiwis we discovered in the mid 1800’s. Many people think there is only one Kiwi but did you know that there are 5 types of Kiwi birds North Island Kiwi, Southern Brown Kiwi, Little Spotted Kiwi, Great Spotted Kiwi, Okarito Kiwi. Kiwis do not have very good eyesight so they have to rely on their touch sense for navigation .The kiwi has the egg size of a Ostrich egg but the Kiwi is the size of a chicken, interesting right. There are lots of interesting thing about the kiwi bird. There are three main things about the kiwi which are the diet, habitat and predators.
Diet are very important in a Kiwi’s life to have a healthy life and so they do not look yummy for the predators. First of all Kiwi’s love to eat invertebrates ( invertebrates are animals without a backbone) for example worms, spiders, beetles and extra . When the Kiwi eats his delicious plate of icky sticky worms he swallows them down his enormous beak into his digestive system bye bye worm. Kiwi birds don’t just eat insects they also eat small crayfish, fruit, plants ,eels, fungi and amphibians so the kiwi bird is a omnivore. The kiwi does not need water because worms are made up of 85% of water.Some people wonder if kiwis eat kiwi fruit apparently to google the answer is no .The kiwi bird has to have a home with lots of food around it so the habitat is next
Home for a kiwi bird is a place where predators are away and food is near but where is this home. Kiwi birds home are usually underground or a borrow. Kiwis live in the forest because they prefer somewhere dark, damp and and where's it has wetland . There are 15,000 that have made a home in Stuart island. The kiwi is a sensitive creature and needs the right habitat or they will parish that's whats so important about a habitat and where it’s at. Kiwi birds are wise of how they get home .
