No not the fruit the bird.  The kiwi bird is getting even more endangered every day.  There is a recovery programme that helps kiwis less endangered

  • there are five subspecies of kiwis all are endangered
  • we lose 27 kiwis every week that's 2% every month
  • kiwis are nocturnal
  • they are the only birds with nostrils
  • the egg weighs 15 percent of the mothers body weight
  • females are larger than males
  • they have one of the largest body to egg ratios
  • it has tiny wings and cannot fly
  • their feathers are more like fur
