The Kiwi, native to New Zealand, is a unique and iconic bird, known for its nocturnal habits and distinct appearance. Despite the fact that few New Zealanders have ever seen a kiwi in the wild, this flightless bird has become a symbol of both the country and its people.

Its iconic status is partly due to its unusual features: a long bill, small head, round body without a tail, and stocky legs. The kiwi is easily caricatured. Sadly, only about 5% of wild kiwi chicks survive the first six months. Once numbering around 12 million, by 2006 the kiwi population had dwindled to fewer than 100,000. The Māori have always considered the kiwi a special bird, known as ‘te manu huna a Tāne,’ or the hidden bird of Tāne, the god of the forest.
