Kiwi dig a burrow or takes over a pre-existing burrow, often in slopes. The nest is then lined with grass, leaves and moss. The kiwi may camouflage the entrance by dragging leaves and sticks across, once they are inside.
The kiwi's environment consists of the native forests of New Zealand, although it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns. However, due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas. One variety, the Haast Brown kiwi, can be found in high sub-alpine tussock grasslands.
Kiwi do not make nests out of sticks and twigs. They dig dens and burrows for nesting. Being defenceless, Flightless Birds, they need to find protected shelter, and digging is the best way for them to hide from predators.
