Kiwis (birds)

New Zealand.

Kiwi are birds and, like most birds, their offspring are simply known as "chicks".

New Zealand...:)

Kiwi, small flightless birds native to New Zealand, have all the normal sense organs.

Fuzzy Kiwis, which are like the ones you buy in the supermarket generally require zone 7. However, there are many varieties of smooth skinned kiwis (which are like cherries almost in size, but taste just like the fuzzy varieties) are very easily grown in zone KY Zone 6. Some varieties are actually native to Siberia, and are hardy down to zone 4 (or lower).

You will also need a Male and Female plant. Plant the Male off to the side of the fruit producing Female vine and you'll have great results.

A word of warning though is a lot of Kiwi plants will get Really Big. The owner of Raintree Nursery said in an interview he had to move one of his plants because he planted it close to his house, and the vines started growing into his shingles.

You will need to trellis the vines and be prepared to harvest about 100 lbs of fruit a year! They don't have many problems with disease or pest either. Most will take about two years to start producing though.

Yes, worms are part of the kiwi's diet. Kiwi primarily eat earthworms, fruit, seeds, fungi, insect larvae and other invertebrates. They have been known to eat eels, freshwater crayfish, small lizards and even frogs.

No. No animal should ever become extinct. It just proves how irresponsible we are as humans

Kiwi are found in a selected range of places all over New Zealand, both warm temperate and cool temperate. In reality, compared to other places in the world, New Zealand has very few areas which could be classified as "hot".

The Okarito Brown kiwi, or Rowi, is only found in the thick Okarito forest on the central west coast of New Zealand's South Island.

Kiwi - shoe polish - was created in 1906.

Yes they are endangered. Their status is set as Nationally Critical. There are less than 300 alive specimen today.

Kiwi are nocturnal, so they tend to feed at night. They may also feed during the early morning and late afternoon/evening.

Kiwi live in population groups known as colonies. However, they do not socialise with other kiwi, and live in pairs with their own distinct territory, separate from that of other kiwi.

Depending on the species, chicks only stay with their parents for a short time. They are old enough to leave the parents' territory when they are 4-6 weeks old. Southern Tokoeka may stay with the parent for up to 5 years.

Kiwi, the flightless bird, was named by Maori.

Kiwi are not blind, but their vision is fairly poor. It is true that they hunt by smell, as their nostrils are located at the very end of their bill. They have an excellent sense of smell.

Kiwis are from the family Apterygidae, and their closest relatives are likely the New Guinea cassowary and the emu (family Casuariidae).

Kiwi ingenuity is their ability to use what they have in purposes other than its made reason. It also may mean they have an ability to solve any problem that may arise. The number 8 wire gauze is a perfect example of Kiwi ingenuity..

There are no common names for the kiwi, small flightless birds of New Zealand. They are simply known as kiwi.

Not really. Both the male and female kiwi diligently incubate the egg for over two months. When the young chick hatches, it is well developed and able to fend for itself within a few days. The chick will stay with its parents for 4-6 weeks, or longer for the Tokoeka. Therefore, it would not be correct to say the kiwi parents abandon the chicks.

No, neither the fruit kiwi nor the radio station KIWI has hands. However, the people that pick the fruit and work at the radio station does have hands.

Kiwi are birds, and birds do not urinate. They excrete uric acid not as urine, but as a white paste which minimises water wastage.

Being nocturnal helps the kiwi to avoid many of its predators, which tend to be diurnal.
