Kiwi have special characteristics that enable them to survive as small, Flightless Birds of New Zealand. They have tiny, rudimentary wings that are so small they are completely hidden beneath their thick covering of shaggy feathers. They cannot fly because they are members of the group of flightless birds known as ratites. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what birds also need to fly.
Being birds, they have feathers, but the feathers are wispy and shaggy in appearance. Also being birds, they lay eggs in order to reproduce, but the eggs are six times larger than eggs from a bird of similar size. Just prior to the egg being laid, it takes up 15 - 20% of the bird's entire body weight.
Kiwi have unusually long bills. Their nostrils are at the end of their beak and they have an exceptional sense of smell. They use their long bill and their sense of smell to locate food up to the depth of their bill below the surface of the ground.
A kiwi is not like a mammal. It has all the characteristics necessary to classify it as a bird alone.

No, kiwi is not a cross between a banana and a strawberry. Kiwi, also known as Chinese gooseberry, is a distinct fruit that comes from the Actinidia plant species. It has its own unique flavor and characteristics, separate from both bananas and strawberries, which belong to entirely different plant families.
'Kiwi' is the plural and the singular (there is no 's' in Maori). 'Te kiwi' means 'the kiwi' (singular), 'Nga Kiwi' means 'the kiwi' (plural) and 'he kiwi' means 'a kiwi' or 'some kiwi'.

Māori always regarded the kiwi as a special bird. They knew it as 'te manu huna a Tāne', the hidden bird of Tāne, god of the forest. Kiwi feather cloaks (kahu kiwi), originally made by sewing kiwi skins together, were taonga (treasures) usually reserved for chiefs. Kiwi feathers, now woven into flax cloaks, are still valued. Māori also ate kiwi, preserving them in the birds' fat, and steaming them in a hāngī (earth oven).
'Kiwi' is a Maori word.
