Yes. A kiwi is a bird in every sense. Characteristics it shares with other birds include the fact that it lays eggs; is a warm-blooded vertebrate; and breathes through lungs. It also has feathers, although its shaggy plumage is often not recognised as feathers.
It is a member of the bird family known as ratites. Ratites are found almost exclusively within the Southern Hemisphere. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.
