The kiwi's beak is unusual because its nostrils are located at the tip of its beak, andit has a very highly developed sense of smell, being able to smell out food beneath the surface of the ground.

Kiwi will dig their beaks into the ground to a depth that extends the entire length of the bill in order to find earthworms and other invertebrates.
