How kiwis adapted to their habitat

General statement: Kiwis are native New zealand birds. They are so beautiful and playful and they are very special to our home land.

Structural adaptations : Kiwis have a small body with brown feathers and a big sensitive beak. They have big strong legs.

Behavioural adaptations: The plumage of a kiwi enables them to blend with the undergrowth in the forest, preventing predators from detecting them by sight.

Habitat: They don't need a new native forest, they are found in scrub and rough farmland, kiwis are from our homeland new zealand , you find them on floors of forests or in narrow logs.

Food: Kiwis eat small invertebrates , seeds, grubs and many varieties of worms. They also eat crayfish, fruit, eels and amphibians.

Native birds in a changing environment: The environment has changed over the past 1000 years
Humans introduced mammalian predators, so they are killing baby chicks so they might get extinct.
