Crikey that is amazing footage. Never seen the beak cleaning before and what is this Kiwi doing in day light or is it very early morning? Are Kiwi naturally nocturnal or have they had to adapt with the introduced predators? Many thanks for sharing this.
they are still nocturnal animals... But from what I heard they (the Kiwis from Stewart Island) just tend to be active at daytime as well.. Just like we humans sometimes get a midnight snack. ;D By the way this was recorded at 5-6 o clock in the morning.
Stuart Island and Southland beaches, the Southern brown kiwi can be found out in the morning in summer. This is due to our short night hours so the need to stay out to feed more. It is the only kiwi that seems to do this.
The Kiwi's nostrils are at the tip of it's beak (the only bird to have this feature) allowing it to smell underground. You can here them blowing air through them to clean out the dirt...
yes - i was very lucky to see this one! I was told that the Rakiura tokoeka (Stewart Island Kiwi) tends to stay up quiet long in the morning hours. Sometimes even during the day to grab a quick snack or something. :D
They should be ok I'd say.lots of people love them and they are heavily protected.in some places their numbers are improving.theres still plenty about.
I don't actually know where they live... apparently there's some in Shakespeare park which I lived a few km from once... who knows. I just thought living in the country, both islands, bushwalking and stuff I'd see 'em. shrug
@Roger Dodger God damn! Oz is so big. That desert too, nothing is getting across that I guess. You've inspired me to do a little research... gonna find these suckers ; )
I had the privilege of seeing a kiwi from captivity up close and even holding the beanbag bird. Ofcourse when I held the kiwi it began to chatter its beak at me lmao
I lived in newzealand when i was small for three and a half years now i see this video and i just think aboout newzealand im 13 now hope to go back there soon!
Evolution forgot to do its work in an island, after some million years Mr. Evolution remembered and said, "damn i forgot to put hands and tails to this creature". Mr.Darwin replied,"too late, You forgot about the Kakapo too, u didn't teach him how to fly."..
if you look into their bone structure you can see tiny vestigial wing bones that are unused, it was probably easier for them to stop having wings than to develop arms
Protofeathers are essentially fur/hair, we just give it a different name because it evolved independently, it looks the same and works the same thanks to convergence evolution. The long extinct pterosaurs also had their own "fur" we don't know how early protofeathers evolved, they may have arisen in early dinosaurs or early in archosaur evolution. This means pterosaurs may have also had protofeathers OR if it evolved independently in them as well, we call it Pycnofiber
I'm from India, I love kiwi birds, New Zealand one dollar coin is one of my favorite for the picture of the bird in it. I wish to see a kiwi bird in real life
@@kartikadewi3270 really, thanka That's cool, there are lot of people with this kind of name to be honest John Abraham, Abraham Matthew, Issac Matthew etc Especially people from Kerala, Goa mostly has these kind of name 😊
I only just found out today that kiwis aren't extinct. I've only ever seen drawings of them in biology books. How did i not know they still existed?? Now I'm binge-watching videos of them cuse I've never seen them before, even after doing a biology degree.
Sometimes you can hear sound of me. But at 3:12 that was the kiwi maybe the worm he just ate was to big. (sadly I didn't have my good microphone with me :/ )
I tried to capture the atmosphere of the beautiful calming quiet moment just before sunrise with the silhouette of a Kiwi at the Sky. - hope you could enjoy the rest of the footage ;)
I laughed so hard when it started running, gradually gaining speed to it's favorite foraging spot. Too cute.
yeah I agree very cute!
True very cute
same🤣
Im gonna edit that with running in the 90s XD
Looks like hes falling and cant stop haha

I love this footage. The zoom out of you being really excited about the bird, and the end where it runs away. It’s so wholesome.
Thank you :))
I was definitely quite excited 🙈

I am obsessed with these birds because they are so adorable! Just look at the way it runs!!
When it starts running it actually looks like a dinosaur
Excellent video! No music, quick shot of your smiling face, and lots of time to study the kiwi from different angles. Well done.
Thank you for the kind words! - glad you enjoyed the video! :)
A Kiwi running is one of the strangest things I've ever seen. Lol
Oh my gosh!! It's an avocado with legs X3
*kiwi
U fukin idiot its a kiwi dnt need to make fun of it
Everyone need q avocado with legs
Jameson Eveni
Please calm down,
It was just a joke, they weren’t making fun of the bird.
Not an avocado, a 🥝. Completely different
It's insanely good at catching worms
Ultimate worm catcher
its nearly blind aswell
Well naturally, he's an expert in his field
Action Jackson LOL
EARTH WORM SALLY
Pause at 4:10. It looks almost like a bear from behind, but then it turns around and turns out to be a cute lil kiwi bird
3:54 the way it starts running looks like a dinosaur
Stunning footage! That Kiwi is so cute. ;u; I never knew they were so good at catching worms!
He runs fast.
Finally one thing they can 😂. To be really honest: world‘s too tough for Kiwis...

Bog Standard boi
Until now I have never seen or heard a person from the Oceania Area say “Crikey” outside of TV. I am happy.
Kiwis are so CUTE😇😍

Anyone else feel like they should give the kiwi bird a bath? And damn! i didn't know he was a a really good runner!
Black Jesus_baby i mean when you're a bird that cannot fly you gotta spend those evolution points on them legs.
He could stand a shampoo with a good conditioner
When I was a kid I always thought they'd be as big as a kiwi, I just recently learned that they are big af
Kiwis are so precious and I love them ;;
I am mayuri
I’m from New Zealand and it’s really rare to find a kiwi during the day because kiwi are nocturnal

WHO WAS THAT PRECIOUS LITTLE BEAN
4:00 Running like he just robbed a bank😂😂

If kiwis had arms they woul definitely Naruto run.
If kiwis had arms that would be terrifying
4:00 i cant stop laughing🤣🤣, it looks like how a man wearing a kiwi suit or costume would run😂😂
I’m glad RUclips recommended this to me.

Hey Peter! That Kiwi is the sun in our lives!
Seeing a Kiwi run makes me happy
Dinosaur running
What a funny looking bird (I actually never saw a kiwi before)! It looks cute though 😊
Personally I had a pleasant experience watching and feeling the kiwi bird 🥝
great to hear that! 🥝😊
Conspiracy theory kiwi birds started out as the kiwi fruit but evolved into a bird shaped as a kiwi with legs so they wouldn’t get eaten.good theory??
Imagine this:
The extinct Moas are brought back and Kiwis with eachother. That's a forest of adorable fluffiness 🤩
I would love that. I hate that people brought such amazing animals to extinction.
Thank u so very much for your video.
Thank you for watching!
Why that is nanashi-chan

In awe at the size of this unit.
I would die for him. No questions asked
that's nice! I would say the same.
Sadly these little fellas (like many other species) will likely die for us 😏

Do they have NO fore-limbs/wings at all?
That’s one fast fruit

kiwi is my favorite bird species
1:12 there he is :)
Kiwis are so CUTE
Such a cool looking bird
I love kiwi birds
I read its background, and i think it likes dianosur🙏
🤣🤣🤣
3:12 who made that sound?
Sometimes you can hear sound of me. But at 3:12 that was the kiwi maybe the worm he just ate was to big.
(sadly I didn't have my good microphone with me :/ )
Does he have some sensor in his beak
They have there nostrils at the end of there beak to sniff out worms and other insects
They have the best sense of smell of any birds and are the only bird with it's nostrils at the tip of its beak.
i love how it runs like a Rancor from star wars
Why does this start out like 2001 Space Odyssey? I was expecting the camera to pan out and reveal a black monolith surrounded by awestruck kiwis
I tried to capture the atmosphere of the beautiful calming quiet moment just before sunrise with the silhouette of a Kiwi at the Sky. - hope you could enjoy the rest of the footage ;)
