Is there a bird called kiwi bird?

Answer 1

Yes. The kiwi is a small, flightless bird which is endemic to New Zealand. It is a "ratite", a type of flightless bird which also includes the emu, rhea, ostrich and cassowary.

The kiwi is about the size of a domestic chicken, and is characterised by an unusually long and slender bill, with its nostrils at the far end.

Answer 2

Yes. A kiwi is a small flightless bird endemic to New Zealand. It is a member of the ratite family. Ratites are found almost exclusively within the Southern Hemisphere. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.

Kiwi are unusual birds in that their nostrils are right at the end of their long beaks. They have an acute sense of smell, and will dig their beaks into the ground to a depth that extends the entire length of the bill in order to find earthworms, insect larvae and other invertebrates. Kiwi also eat fallen fruit and seeds. They have been known to eat eels, freshwater crayfish, small lizards and even frogs.
