For the most part, kiwi feathers are brown. Some are darker or lighter than others, depending on species, and most are also speckled with white or lighter flecks. Most also have lighter faces and underbellies. The North Island Brown Kiwi, for example, has a thick covering of shaggy, hairy, brown-grey feathers, while the Great Spotted Kiwi, also known as the Great Grey Kiwi, varies from grey to light brown in colour, but its feathers are covered with black spots.

A kiwi's body is covered with dense, coarse feathers that resemble fur, giving it a unique appearance.

Additionally, kiwis have a layer of down feathers underneath, providing insulation. Their body covering aids in camouflage and protection while they forage for insects and worms in the ground.

Do down feather's. give birds their colors?

No, down feathers do not give birds their colors. The colors of birds primarily come from pigments in their feathers, such as melanin and carotenoids, or from structural coloration, which is the result of the microscopic structure of the feathers. Down feathers, which are soft and fluffy, are primarily used for insulation and do not typically contribute to the bird's coloration.
