Kiwi are small, Flightless Birds which are basically defenceless. Having colours that help to camouflage them within their habitat is one way for the kiwi to protect itself from predators.

Kiwis survive and thrive in the wild through their unique adaptations and behaviors.

Their strong legs enable them to navigate through dense vegetation, while their cryptic brown plumage provides camouflage against predators.

What is a kiwi body covering?

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

Do kiwis have nests?
