Is the kiwi a bird or a mammal?

Answer 1

Kiwi is the proper name for the small flightless bird of New Zealand.

The fruit's name is kiwifruit, although it would seem that in many northern hemisphere countries, it is shortened to just "kiwi".

Answer 2

The kiwi is a small terrestrial bird of New Zealand which belongs to the group of Flightless Birds known as ratites. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird also needs to fly. Other ratites include the emu, ostrich, cassowary and rhea.

Answer 3

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.
