Of course, no blog on NZ would be complete without one on the kiwi - is that the person, the fruit or the bird? We get confused!
We've seen lots of kiwis here,of all kinds, but the feathered kind always in zoos or reserves; there's still a battle on to kill the introduced predators that kill them & eat their eggs.
They are of course, flightless, about the size of a chicken and the country's national symbol ( along with the fern). There are five different kinds and they are all nocturnal.. now you've learned something!
We love them because they make the tiniest cheeping noise, run really fast and their feathers are the softest things!
