No. The kiwi is a flightless bird that digs a burrow or takes over a pre-existing burrow, often in slopes. The nest is then lined with grass, leaves and moss. The kiwi may camouflage the entrance by dragging leaves and sticks across, once they are inside.

Why don't kiwi live in high nests in trees?

Kiwi are flightless birds that live on the ground. Prior to European occupation of New Zealand, they did not need to be able to fly, as there were very few natural predators. Kiwi wings are not used for flight, so they cannot fly into trees for shelter. Unlike the kakapo, a flightless parrot, kiwi also do not have strong beaks and claws to enable them to climb into trees. For shelter, they dig dens and burrows, or take over a pre-existing burrow. For extra protection, the nest is then lined with grass, leaves and moss.
