The Kiwi is a very high status in New Zealand, is the national bird of New Zealand, and is also the symbol of the entire New Zealand country. The kiwi bird is also called the kiwi bird, although it is a bird, but this bird is born without wings, so it is also a bird that cannot fly.
In addition to not being able to fly without wings, kiwi birds also have many other unique features, such as growing nostrils on their mouths, which are unique among birds in the world. Another is that the female of the kiwi can lay the world's largest egg. This is very peculiar, to know that the size of the kiwi bird is similar to the size of the average chicken, but the eggs can be similar to the eggs of the ostrich.
Wild kiwi birds are extinct
Although some kiwi birds can still be seen in New Zealand, they are all kept in captivity, and the wild kiwi birds are completely extinct. At that time, New Zealand was the paradise of kiwi birds, there were no large carnivores here, which made the flightless kiwi birds have no natural enemies, but then the Maori came here and brought dogs, cats and other animals, which directly led to the disappearance of a large number of kiwi birds.
Fortunately, the locals in New Zealand discovered this situation and developed a series of protective measures. And this unique kiwi bird began to be preserved through artificial rearing. Otherwise, now the world is not to say wild, even if it is artificially raised, there is no more, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
