Kiwis use their claws to dig a burrow. They have strong legs and claws to loosen the soil and push it out to create the entrance. It is usually the male that digs the burrow. The burrow is then lined with grass, leaves and moss.

Kiwi do not live in an underground burrow, but they do dig burrows for nesting. This is largely for protection. They are Flightless Birds, and cannot build nests in trees. Digging burrows offers the best protection for their eggs.
