The kiwi grows in the winter season

Kiwi are small, flightless birds which are basically defenceless. Having feathers that help to camouflage them within their habitat is one way for the kiwi to protect itself from predators.
Breeding season for the kiwi begins in June, the New Zealand winter, and continues through to about March of the following year.

Kiwi may lay their eggs anywhere between June, the beginning of New Zealand's winter, and March of the following year.
All species of kiwi breed from June, which is the beginning of the New Zealand winter, through to March of the following year.
Kiwi neither hibernate nor migrate. They breed during the winter months, so they do not hibernate. They establish their territory when they form a breeding pair, so they do not migrate.

The primary means of protection for a kiwi is hiding. Kiwi are nocturnal, and this behaviour enables them to evade their predators. They nest in burrows which they dig in the ground. Apart from that, they are virtually defenceless. When they are trapped, they may use their claws in defence, but this is not enough to prevent the many kiwi deaths that occur from dog attacks.
The kiwi is now protected because, since the arrival of Europeans in New Zealand, this bird's very survival has been threatened. The Okarito Kiwi, or Rowi is now critically endangered and the brown kiwi is endangered.The other three species are vulnerable. Unless action is taken to protect the kiwi, this unique creature faces the very real threat of extinction.
