Do kiwi live with other kiwi yes or no?

Kiwi do live with other kiwi. Kiwi are monogamous birds that can stay together for up to thirty years. However, they do not live with other kiwi. Although there are kiwi populations in areas, pairs of kiwi do not live with others, but establish a clear territory of their own. After mating, the female lays an egg and the male incubates it, but the young chicks leave their parents' territory when they are 4-6 weeks old (except in the case of the Southern tokoeka, which may stay with its parents for 4-5 years).
