it keeps it until the baby kiwi wants to leave her
A young kiwi chick tends to stay in the nest for only a week. It fends for itself after this time, but may stay in the area where its parents are for up to three years, before finding its own territory.
The youngsters stay with the parents until they are independent - this can be anywhere from a few months to many years.
A kiwi's nostrils are at the end of it long beak! :)
Kiwi are protected birds. Therefore, it is illegal to boil a kiwi egg.
As a rule, young fish do not stay with their parents at all, but fend for themselves as soon as the fish eggs are hatched. Marine creatures that care for their young and keep them with them for an extended period are mostly not fish but marine mammals like whales, dolphins and orcas.
OInce you figure out a way you won't beable to keep her away from them long..parents have a way to find out EVERYTHING!

No. Kiwi do not have teeth. A kiwi is a small, flightless bird with a long bill, and most certainly no teeth.
Neither. Both I's are pronounced as long E's (keewee).
It is not a matter of how long kiwis stay with their babies, but of how long the young are able to stay with the parents. Depending on the species, kiwi chicks are old enough to leave the parents' territory when they are 4-6 weeks old. Southern Tokoeka may stay with the parent for up to 5 years.
The kiwi's egg is 120 mm long, which is remarkably large for such a small bird.
It is not known when kiwi came to New Zealand. Fossil evidence indicates that kiwi have been in New Zealand since long before Man arrived.
