Kiwi are Flightless Birds that live on the ground. Prior to European occupation of New Zealand, they did not need to be able to fly, as there were very few natural predators.
Kiwi wings are not used for flight, so they cannot fly into trees for shelter. Unlike the kakapo, a flightless parrot, kiwi also do not have strong beaks and claws to enable them to climb into trees.
For shelter, they dig dens and burrows, or take over a pre-existing burrow. For extra protection, the nest is then lined with grass, leaves and moss.
