The term Kiwi has multiple meanings.

1. A Kiwi is any of the species of Flightless Birds endemic (that means they live there) to New Zealand of the genus Apteryx (the only genus in family Apterygadie). At around the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites. All kiwi species are endangered. The kiwi is also a national symbol of New Zealand.

So- while they may be found in zoos worldwide, they are most likely to be found in New Zealand.

2. The Kiwifruit (or kiwi) is the edible berry of a cultivar group of the woody vine Actinidia deliciosa and hybrids between this and other species in the genus Actinidia. The Actinidia is native to Shaanxi, China, so that is where it is most likely to be found. Or in your local grocery store, in the fruits and vegetables section.
