Why do kiwis need whiskers?

All birds have beaks, and in the case of the kiwi, the beak, or bill, is specially adapted for finding food. Kiwi find their food in a unique way. They are unusual birds with very long bills. Their nostrils are located at the tip of their beak, and they have a very highly developed sense of smell, being able to smell out food beneath the surface of the ground. Kiwi will dig their beaks into the ground to a depth that extends the entire length of the bill in order to find earthworms and other invertebrates.

What is the kiwi birds habit?

Kiwi birds love to hide in bushes and in farmlands. Thus, the best habitat for this kind of bird would obviously be the scrub covered grasslands, the river lands and the bushes by the roadside. Kiwis are shy in nature, which is why even the pine forests could be of help in providing them proper shields to hide from light and predator danger. Kiwi birds live with the same partners for most of their lives, on an area of land up to 40 hectares. A kiwi bird's territory will always be dotted with burrows or shelters.
