The kiwi is New Zealand's most ancient living bird and a biological oddity. Flightless and largely nocturnal its one-off evolutionary design holds all sorts of biological records. Kiwi build burrows and lay a huge egg that produces a mature fully-feathered independent chick. And that's where they are at their most vulnerable. Introduced predators and ferral cats or dogs kill the chicks and can erradicate a whole generation of kiwi. That's why special programs to protect the kiwi are in place. Eggs and chicks are removed from the bush to return them again to the wild when they gained enough weight to be big enough to fight off predators. The kiwi is highly threatened and also the icon of New Zealand.

Kiwi - The Ancient Oddity of New Zealand's Forests
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the elusive Brown Kiwi, an ancient bird with a truly unique design. With its long beak poking in the ground, this adult kiwi is on a quest for food amidst the native Kauri forest in Trounson Kauri Park Scenic Reserve. As we admire the fallen Kauri twigs scattered around, it becomes clear that these forests hold more than just beauty. The kiwi's evolutionary marvels are showcased here; flightless and nocturnal, they have adapted to survive in their environment like no other creature. But survival is not without challenges. Introduced predators such as feral cats and dogs pose a grave threat to these vulnerable birds and their chicks. To protect them, special programs have been put in place. Eggs and chicks are carefully removed from the bush until they reach maturity and can fend off predators themselves. The plight of the kiwi reminds us of its significance as both an icon of New Zealand and a highly threatened species. Its existence hangs by a thread, making conservation efforts crucial. So let this stunning print serve as a reminder of nature's wonders and our responsibility to safeguard them. Let us cherish these extraordinary creatures who hold records within their very biology – symbols of resilience against all odds.
