The small, flightless bird known as the kiwi is native to New Zealand. There are seven species of this bird, according to the 'Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand' by the Ornithological Society of New Zealand, published 2010:
- Great Spotted (A. haastii)
- Little spotted (A. owenii)
- North Island Brown (A. mantelli),
- Okarito Brown (A. rowi)
- South Island Brown (A. australis australis)
- Southern brown (A. australis)
- Stewart Island brown (A. australis lawryi)
As for the kiwi fruit, Actinidia deliciosa, known in some parts of the world as simply 'kiwi', it originated in China, but was improved in New Zealand, and was initially sold as Chinese Gooseberry. It is primarily grown in China, New Zealand, and Italy.
The word Kiwi is also considered a self-reference by the non-indigenous residents of the island nation, but it is offensive to the indigenous people, the Maori.
