Currently, the biggest natural biotic factor affecting the kiwi is the introduction of possums. The possums compete with the kiwi for food and are generally pushing the birds out of their natural habitat. Also, a great deal of their habitat is being destroyed as farm land and cities take the place of former kiwi homes.
