Here is my report on brown kiwi

                                    The Brown Kiwi

shh, what is that?

This flightless bird lays 1-2 eggs a season. It can weigh anywhere from 1.5-3kg.  The two species of kiwi can be located in many areas of New Zealand.

Diet
The Brown Kiwi eat insects,worms ,spiders,seeds, grubs, and many varieties of worms. They also may eat fruit, small crayfish, eels and tadpoles and frogs.

Habitat
The habitat is all in the North Island. Northland has the most of the brown kiwi they also live in Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki and Bay of Plenty and Hawke's Bay has just least kiwis.

Predators
Possums, Jacki and stoats are the brown kiwi predators.If you do not know what a predator is something that kills the kiwi.


Next time you’re out tramping, walk quietly and see if you can find one.
