Kiwi means three things: a rare bird from New Zealand, the fuzzy fruit, or a nickname for New Zealanders. The fruit was named 'kiwi'
. New Zealanders proudly call themselves Kiwis, since their country is the only place
.
Their small bodies have brown feathers, a short neck and legs, and tiny wings that make them unable to fly. It's the only bird
, which is used to smell earthworms and insects in the thick wet forests where they live.
Millions of kiwis once lived in New Zealand, but fewer than seventy thousand remain today,
. They had no mammal predators on New Zealand before people imported them to the islands. Stoats, small animals from the weasel family, were brought to control rabbits. Instead of hunting rabbits, stoats started stealing eggs from the kiwi's nests,
.
There are five kinds of kiwi: the brown kiwi, the great spotted kiwi, the little spotted kiwi, the rowi and the tokoeka. Some are doing better with protection,
. New Zealand works hard to eliminate introduced predators and protect the kiwi's habitat. Without help, these special birds would continue to disappear.
