There are many imported animals which are pests and threats that harm the kiwi, a defenceless, flightless bird of New Zealand. These include possums, livestock and deer which eat trees, plant and seedlings, contributing to the clearing of forests, making it easier for mammalian and avian predators to access the habitat to prey on them.
The biggest threat to the kiwi comes from dogs and cats and other imported pets (and pests) including the stoat.
