Kiwi are remarkable birds in many ways. Did You Know? …
- They are the only birds in the world to have nos- trils at the end of their beak, helping them to find food as they snuffle around on the forest floor.
- Kiwi eggs are huge for the size of the bird – up to one fifth of the female’s body weight.
- Rails called Weka are sometimes confused with Kiwi, but they are much less shy – so if the bird you’re looking at is trying to steal your sandwiches from your back- pack it’ll be a Weka!
Each spread covers a different aspect of Kiwi life, from ‘Special adaptations’ and ‘Conserving Kiwi’ to ‘Closest relatives’ and ‘Where do they live?’.
