The kiwi does have wings. It just happens to be flightless, as its wings are around 5cm in length, and completely incapable of lifting the kiwi's weight.
The kiwi has tiny, rudimentary wings that are so small they are completely hidden beneath their thick covering of shaggy feathers.
The kiwi is a member 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 a bird also needs to fly.
