A young kiwi chick tends to stay in the nest for only a week. It fends for itself after this time, but may stay in the area where its parents are for up to three years, before finding its own territory.
Kiwi do not live in a nest, but they use a nest for breeding. The kiwi digs 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.
