∙ 12y agoWithin its habitat, the kiwi remains on the ground, being a flightless bird. For nesting, it digs a burrow or uses a pre-existing burrow.
The kiwi's natural habitat is native forests but it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns. Due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is also now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas. One variety, the Haast Brown kiwi, can be found in high sub-alpine tussock grasslands.
