(Family: Apterygidae) Flightless birds found only in New Zealand (it is their national symbol). Although kiwis are the size of chickens, remarkably their eggs are almost the size of an ostrich's — a world record for their size. Kiwis do not eat kiwifruit, but use their long beak to dig for invertebrates, mainly worms. They supplement this diet with leaves, fruit, and seeds. Their feathers are modified and hair-like. Introduced predators and habitat loss have endangered the kiwi.
