The New Zealand KIWI

In New Zealand there are some birds which native only to that country. One of the most interesting is the kiwi. It lives in wet parts of the thick bushes. In the day time the bird does not go out. It comes out only at night to find food. Kiwis are among the smallest of the flightless birds. They are not common. The female kiwi usually lays one very large egg about ten centimeters long. Then male kiwi sits on it for about eighty days. He also feeds the chick until it is big enough to find its own food.
