Brown kiwi (Apteryx australis) among leaf litter. The kiwi is a small,long-beaked flightless bird that is found only on the islands of New Zealand. It is a nocturnal forest forager that feeds on seeds,fruit,invertebrates and their larvae. It scrapes a new burrow to sleep in each day. It has a sense of smell,unlike other birds,and can also locate prey by sound. Predation and loss of its forest habitat threatens its survival | |
