Dogs have been introduced to New Zealand. Wild dogs hunt the kiwi for food, while unsupervised domestic dogs will run down and kill kiwi indiscriminately, as it is instinctive for many breeds to chase a moving target. Kiwi exude quite a strong smell, which attracts dogs. A single dog can wreak untold damage in one night, killing dozens of kiwi in a frenzied attack, all for the thrill of the chase.

Why are kiwis vulnerable to predators?

Kiwis are vulnerable to predators because they are small, flightless birds. They cannot escape predators by flying away or perching high in trees. They also reproduce slowly, with the chicks leaving the protection of their parents at a young age. A very large percentage of kiwi chicks die between 4 and 6 months of age.

How is kiwis getting killed?

Kiwi populations are threatened primarily by habitat loss, introduced predators, and climate change. In New Zealand, where kiwis are native, invasive species such as stoats, rats, and dogs prey on kiwi eggs and chicks, significantly reducing their numbers. Additionally, deforestation and land development have led to the destruction of their natural habitats. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique birds and their environments.
