Kiwi have tiny, rudimentary wings that are so small they are completely hidden beneath their thick covering of shaggy feathers.
Being birds, they have feathers, but the feathers are wispy and shaggy in appearance. Also being birds, they lay eggs in order to reproduce, but the eggs are six times larger than eggs from a bird of similar size. Just prior to the egg being laid, it takes up 15 - 20% of the bird's entire body weight.
Kiwi have unusually long bills. Their nostrils are at the end of their beak and they have an exceptional sense of smell. They use their long bill and their sense of smell to locate food up to the depth of their bill below the surface of the ground.
