Kiwi are nocturnal hunters. They mainly eat earthworms, fruit, seeds, fungi, insect larvae and other invertebrates, and have been known to eat eels, freshwater crayfish, small lizards and even frogs.
Kiwi find their food in a unique way. They are unusual birds with their nostrils 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. Young kiwi use their feet to shift the leaves and leaf litter from the forest floor in order to uncover insects, worms and insect larvae.
