A baby kiwi is a smaller version of an adult. It can feed itself within a few days of hatching, and it often leaves its parents to find its own territory when it is 4-6 weeks old, although Southern Tokoeka may stay with the parent for up to 5 years.
Another major difference is that baby kiwi feed both during the day and the night, unlike their nocturnal parents. This makes them more vulnerable to predation.
