Kiwi, small Flightless Birds, live on both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, and some offshore islands.
Kapiti Island is home to a significant population of kiwi, specifically the North Island kiwi species. Estimates suggest that there are around 1,500 to 2,000 kiwi on the island, benefiting from conservation efforts and predator control measures. This makes Kapiti Island an important sanctuary for this endangered bird species in New Zealand.
The little spotted kiwi used to be found over most of New Zealand near the same habitat as the Tokoeka kiwi. To conserve the species, specimens were captured and moved to Kapiti Island, Red Mercury Island, Hen Island, Tiritiri Matangi Island and Long Island.
Kiwi, which are flightless birds endemic to New Zealand, are not found in any state, as New Zealand is not divided into states. Different species of kiwi are found on both the North Island and South Island of New Zealand.
