You’re telling me that Kiwi was strong enough to haul all those trees up the side of a mountain yet you think that he died from the fall? Trust me, he’s fine.
Fun fact: this was the very first youtube video i ever saw in my life. My sister wanted to show it to our mother, while little me was sitting on her lap. I saw the video and cried. Then i asked my mom why i cried and my mom answered me: "because you have a heart." Still one of the strongest memories my entire life was built on
@@zackfrank751 nah, the storytelling is the strongest point of this animation. The plot is simple and the storytelling is easy to follow. Maybe what you mean is a lack of character development?
Is no one touched by the fact that the kiwi bird possibly spent it's entire life nailing trees to the side of the mountain just to feel a few seconds of happiness?
Do you not realize that is how most of us spend our life? Working towards goals to achieve a "happiness"? Some of us get to fly for a few seconds while the rest end up dying sticking trees on our journey up the mountain.
My 8 year old found this and we had a few tears together, it’s a powerful piece. But on the flip side, Kiwis do what Kiwis do in real life, but making a short about an Ostrich wouldn’t have worked. Whoever conceived this was a genius, it teaches empathy and understanding beautifully.
This old as animation is something i find myself annually checking every year. Beautiful for such an ancient piece of media, with a lovable character, music, and story that somehow completely explains itself in what, 3 minutes? this is insane, and i myself take inspiration from that little kiwi to put my dreams into fruition no matter how impossible it may seem :')
I got introduced to depression by fucking doki doki literature club ,that game introduced me to a whole new world of feeling I've never felt or at least never knew what they were
its all in the facts, you can be ignorant but the fact is how come a bird that size lift all those threes by itself, there is no way a simple fall ended it @@BlokeOzzie
This video isn't about dying or any of that nonsense, to me. It's about finally, for once, just feeling 'ok' for a second. Even if it's a lot of hard work, even if the consequences are dire, the peace of letting go and feeling free is simply just priceless.
Lyric 737 in addition, he/she is diving head first into the ground at insane speed just cuz they may have legit body muscle doesn’t mean they can survive a head first impact
This is a video with a happy and sad ending. He knew he couldn't fly, so he nailed a lot of trees to the cliff. He threw himself off a cliff, just to experience what it was like to actually fly for the *first* and *last time* . He was happy to the point of shedding tears because he could fly like a bird in the trees, but he must have also known that it was like an act of suicide.
I didn't understand him crying as a kid, I thought he was crying of happiness, I was happy seeing that the Kiwi finally achieved his goal, Now, i'm here in my room crying because the Kiwi died.
Kate Cat I mean, from my perspective, that is what happened. He pulled all those trees so that when he fell, it would look like he’s flying on land like normal. He flapped his wings even though they clearly weren’t flying anywhere. From my point of view, he wanted to feel like he was flying at least once, and managed to do it.
God was cruel when he created Kiwis without wings, I'm sorry but it was rude.. I hope God awards and compensates Kiwis and other flightless cute birds when they go to heaven after their deaths
Brenda princesa Lindaa lmao the kiwis had functional wings but their natural habitat had no predators so they had no need to fly, they simply evolved to not need them so their wings became smaller smaller.
One of the first RUclips videos I ever saw. When I was 16, I found it cute, whimsical, and silly. He was finally flying and the thud meant he crashed, possibly not being alright. This hits different at 31. I'm crying like a child, it's a bittersweet, saccharine feeling but I love it. So much hard work, passion, and sacrifice, knowing his ultimate fate one way or another, for a few seconds of joy and the accomplishment of a lifelong dream. He can truly say he was one of the few Kiwi ever, perhaps the only one, to know what it feels like to fly. Oh Kiwi, fly high little one, you deserve it ❤️
Yep. I'm 31, just saw this for the first time, just cried like a child. I probably saw it in highschool, but don't remember because I couldn't yet relate.
I would not say dark, I would say sad. Dark has a very negative connotation to it. Kiwi wanted to experience flight even if it meant it's death. If you play ddlc or .exe games or watch tokyo Ghoul those are "dark". This is more sad and emotional than dark.
@@ijustwannabepwrtofyoursymphony Yeah come to think of it, that kiwi's gotta be so strong by now he could probably just jump right back up the mountainside. Clearly, that's the redemption arc of this bit.
This is without a doubt of of the saddest, most sobering things I have watched. The joy of achieving a dream cut with the sorrow of knowing its the end, what a mixture of emotion. An analogy for so many people, and one that mimics many scenarios we find ourselves in throughout our lives.
If you think about this deeper. The birds whole life was involved with him wanting to fly. Then when he flew, he shed a tear because he was going to die and he knew it. That’s life. Even if you do what you want, you’re gonna die anyway. W storyline
but... i dont know, if you want to achieve a dream is because you want to have a good live, he dont even try to survive to try to "fly" again, its like he just wanted to die, even if he dont express that emotion, to me it feels like he just desided to die and then he choose how
aside from all the humorous comments, this video has such a deep and dark meaning behind it. Without hesitation, we jump but a tear rolled down his cheeks meaning he has to sacrifice his life just to live the dream he always wanted.
Let take a moment of silence for the bird who spent his whole life, nailing trees on the sidee of a mountain, just so at the end, he can end his life, just to live his long life dream...
I see everyone saying that this makes them cry but I'm happy for the kiwi. He achieved his goal and accomplished something great. His joy before jumping and happy acceptance of his fate are uplifting. To not fear death and to meet your end with satisfaction and determination is something we should all strive for. Also you bet your ass if he wanted to live he could have set up a net. Dead or alive he succeeded.
Or as the Klingons would put it... Kiwi died with Honor! We shall sing songs of Kiwi! Qapla! Kiwi, you have a place with the Honored Dead in Sto-Vo-Kor!
i think maybe (and this is me using my "the curtains were blue" moments in lit class) its because the kiwi is a small, defenseless, flightless bird, not to mention i think endangered or at risk? a lot of artists suffer with mental disorders and out of that, many more die young, self inflicted or not kiwis in general could be connected to artists feeling trapped in a world telling them their trade is useless, theyre defenseless in that sense, and many times unable to escape people telling them that or maybe its just "kiwi cant fly funny" who knows
@Plastic Age Exactly. I love movies. If I don't like a movie I don't swallow it. (Ratatouille quote), and still this is genius. Simple idea, but executed well
Well, I think it’s more the story of a bird who wished something so bad he was willing to die for it. In the end, he didn’t cry out of sadness, he cried of joy that his dream was fulfilled. He went out with a BANGER F for my boi
This is actually such a sad animation, despite the cheerful music.. Nailing up all those trees just to jump off a cliff and feel happiness & freedom for the first, and last time.. As someone with depression, this hits hard.
@Kalwik Lensak Bungee cords are not ever that long in the first place. If you used a cable for a fall that is 10+ seconds, my guess would also be that either the cable snaps and you fall off, or the momentum build up to the moment you stop would push the top and bottom of your body in the direction of the floor and the middle of your body upwards, with such force that you would indeed snap in half. Maybe in one piece, except for your bones that would definitely snap. All this assuming it's just tied to the middle of your body. Otherwise, another possibility would be that the cable wouldn't go straight down and you'd hit the wall, or you'd go like a pendulum when in the bottom and then hit it anyways. And if that doesn't happen, I'm sure you'd just die because of the sudden artificial stop at the bottom when the cable finally extends completely, that his body is most likely not built for anyway. I don't know enough about this but I'm pretty sure there's no way he'd survive that with a bungee cord.
Let’s be real here. If a birb like him can carry pine trees to the top of a cliff, he can survive a fall from a cliff. Imagine how many times he fell off accidentally, and lived! In my personal canon universe, he lived on to become a pilot. Don’t worry, Kiwi is fine!
On another note, one species of geese are able to fall hundreds of feet down cliffs as chicks to begin their lives. Similarly if the kiwi was lucky, it would be able to survive due to its light mass and feathers, so you’re right.
Imagine this: You're a little girl, the year is 2012. You're online, looking for cute bird videos. That's when you see kiwi. You think "Oh, it's a cute bird. It's gonna be funny." For a while, you watch the video, rooting for Kiwi. Then comes the ending. The fucked up implication that Kiwi died. You start tearing up. After a moment of silence, you start crying. That was my experience watching this video as a little girl.
2006?!?! 😮 the very first time I watched this film was in 2011 on my first semester of a Animation and cried… today I showed it to my boyfriend to challenged him and I cried again. This is really the most simple quality animations I’d seen and so powerful emotionally.
I cried 10 years ago and here I am now crying again. I think it’s how happy he is at the end knowing full well the cost that makes it so heartbreaking. ):
Yeap, thats me. But I didnt cry now, it barely moved me.. maybe because I remembered it and knew whats gonna happen, or maybe I just grew a cold heart...
2:05 bro him bringing out his tiny wings to mimic flying (and honestly this whole video) has been one of the most emotionally devastating moments of my life.
It’s funny, because the kiwi would reach the bottom and merely be disoriented. Their such light birds that their weight prevents them from going faster than a certain speed. That means that when he reached the bottom he was probably just knocked out for a minute.
The tropospheric terminal velocity of a penny, which is much lighter than a kiwi bird, is still up around 25mph. Even given the kiwi's larger surface area, I'd assume it's greater mass would give a kiwi bird a higher terminal velocity than a penny. Kiwi is at least banged up after this fall. I googled "terminal velocity of a kiwi bird" but I guess no one's done that study. Time to apply for a grant!
Considering pine trees weight around 2-3 tons, and the fact that the kiwi was able to get all those trees up that completely vertical cliff, i’d say its impossible that a kiwi that strong could die from that fall
This bird literally lifted dozens of trees up this cliff the size of the empire state building. He’s not dead. He’s only practicing for the real thing.
You’re telling me that Kiwi was strong enough to haul all those trees up the side of a mountain yet you think that he died from the fall? Trust me, he’s fine.

Between this and Nugget, it's becoming clear that artistic types look at kiwis and immediately feel their hearts shatter.
ivy the kiwi? is another example of this phenomenon I think, though with a less tragic ending
Or maybe they just want to see kiwis suffer
Ecologists look at kiwis killed to endangerment by human-introduced invasive species and have their hearts shatter as well
i think maybe (and this is me using my "the curtains were blue" moments in lit class) its because the kiwi is a small, defenseless, flightless bird, not to mention i think endangered or at risk?
a lot of artists suffer with mental disorders and out of that, many more die young, self inflicted or not
kiwis in general could be connected to artists feeling trapped in a world telling them their trade is useless, theyre defenseless in that sense, and many times unable to escape people telling them that

And think that this was one of the first videos of youtube, makes us feel nostalgic, good old times, with no shitty copyright
What do you mean? There were plenty of videos before this.
youtube was literally released in 2005 not 2006
Yeah, this one is a classic
The history of depressing bird who decided to commit suicidal acts
The irony from the animation meme community.
Well, I think it’s more the story of a bird who wished something so bad he was willing to die for it. In the end, he didn’t cry out of sadness, he cried of joy that his dream was fulfilled. He went out with a BANGER
F for my boi
Thats because him only wanted fly :''(
You mean depressed, right?

Please don't ever remove this.
Agreed, I hope this never gets removed.😭
DOWNLOAD NOW!!
Yea don't ever remove this! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
If it does I’ll reupload it
And please, don't ever put this RUclips kids mod :(
This is actually such a sad animation, despite the cheerful music.. Nailing up all those trees just to jump off a cliff and feel happiness & freedom for the first, and last time.. As someone with depression, this hits hard.
RUclips recommendations: here, take this 13 year old video
Me: TIME TO CRY AGAIN I GUESS
Same for me, lol
Same for me, lol
I didn't even realize it was 13 years old-

18 years later and kiwi still has the balls to show up on my fyp in 2025.... he is still alive right? Right??
I'm pretty sure this is the RUclips video everyone watched at one point, between the years of 2006-2011.
JulzJulzzJulzzz yeah
I'm surprised I didn't.
yep. Whatched this around 2009
This changed my life….
I came here to watch random birb animation hopefully will cure my depression

Kill Me uuuuuuhhhhh hello?
ur profile picture doesn't help me take that in
There was a splash at the end
Kill Me yeah CxD

If Kiwi had only considered the bungee cord.
OH NOW YA SAY SOMETHIN
@Kalwik Lensak Bungee cords are not ever that long in the first place.
If you used a cable for a fall that is 10+ seconds, my guess would also be that either the cable snaps and you fall off, or the momentum build up to the moment you stop would push the top and bottom of your body in the direction of the floor and the middle of your body upwards, with such force that you would indeed snap in half. Maybe in one piece, except for your bones that would definitely snap.
All this assuming it's just tied to the middle of your body. Otherwise, another possibility would be that the cable wouldn't go straight down and you'd hit the wall, or you'd go like a pendulum when in the bottom and then hit it anyways.
And if that doesn't happen, I'm sure you'd just die because of the sudden artificial stop at the bottom when the cable finally extends completely, that his body is most likely not built for anyway.
I don't know enough about this but I'm pretty sure there's no way he'd survive that with a bungee cord.
Well that works a lot better than making a pond at the end of the cliff
the first time i ever saw this i cried for 30 minutes straight … i love you kiwi 🥝❤️
Let’s be real here. If a birb like him can carry pine trees to the top of a cliff, he can survive a fall from a cliff. Imagine how many times he fell off accidentally, and lived! In my personal canon universe, he lived on to become a pilot. Don’t worry, Kiwi is fine!
On another note, one species of geese are able to fall hundreds of feet down cliffs as chicks to begin their lives. Similarly if the kiwi was lucky, it would be able to survive due to its light mass and feathers, so you’re right.
thank you for making me feel better about this!
Thanks
You are right I was saved by a man in a small biplane after that I decided to join the New Zealand Air Force
No, he is dead.
Imagine this: You're a little girl, the year is 2012. You're online, looking for cute bird videos. That's when you see kiwi. You think "Oh, it's a cute bird. It's gonna be funny." For a while, you watch the video, rooting for Kiwi. Then comes the ending. The fucked up implication that Kiwi died. You start tearing up. After a moment of silence, you start crying. That was my experience watching this video as a little girl.
It was my experience as like a 40 year old woman all because of my son and it's okay cuz 10 years in and it doesn't change I still cry like a baby
omg same 😂 traumatic childhood experience
Surprised you figured out what the meaning of the video was
Same
I'm in this comment and I don't like it
//crying//
This is really impressive for a 2006 animation. When I realized what Kiwi was trying to do, I was about to tear up.
2006?!?! 😮 the very first time I watched this film was in 2011 on my first semester of a Animation and cried… today I showed it to my boyfriend to challenged him and I cried again. This is really the most simple quality animations I’d seen and so powerful emotionally.
It already dead
I understood, he wanted to have the feeling of being able to fly like other birds at least once in his life, even if it cost him his life
@@agentesmith3 or he wanted to commit suicide
You’re telling me that kiwis can fly
진짜 너무너무 슬픈데 어떡하지..? 괜히 봤나 싶을 정도로 슬픔.. 내 눈물버튼 영상 돼버림

발로 박수치는 부분 계속 떠올라서 계속 눈물남 ㅜㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I cried 10 years ago and here I am now crying again. I think it’s how happy he is at the end knowing full well the cost that makes it so heartbreaking. ):
Huh seems i have no emotions then peacuz i didnt cry at all
Was sort of funy tho
@@thegboys5363 You're right, you don't have emotion. Now take your cookies and go.
Ok

Kiwi didn’t die; he lived, and he lived for his dream.❤
The first time I watched this I was like “okay then” but whenever someone sais “Hey who wants to watch Kiwi?” I start to cry. No one knows why...

Me too

LettuceQueen I remember crying to this when I was 8
Yeap, thats me. But I didnt cry now, it barely moved me.. maybe because I remembered it and knew whats gonna happen, or maybe I just grew a cold heart...
2:05 bro him bringing out his tiny wings to mimic flying (and honestly this whole video) has been one of the most emotionally devastating moments of my life.

35 and I still haven't recovered.

Fun fact: smaller animals have a large surface to volume ratio, so his terminal velocity is probably not fast enough to kill him directly

That’s a one strong kiwi, legit pulled thousands of trees to the side of the mountain and im very sure the fall was a scratch for him 💀

I bet he's gonna get up and do it again 💀
yeah bro, that fall was exercise, the splashing sound is him hitting the ground so hard that the solid ground around him splashing like water

Don't worry, such a well prepared Kiwi surely had bucket of water in his inventory.
lmfao you singlehandedly utterly stopped my stream of tears. 😂
Bro ,this not minecraft
@@ruslikifli2948 stfu it is Minecraft in the kiwis world
Kiwi MLG'd that shit
I hope he does it correctly
It’s funny, because the kiwi would reach the bottom and merely be disoriented. Their such light birds that their weight prevents them from going faster than a certain speed. That means that when he reached the bottom he was probably just knocked out for a minute.
Buddy I need an Africa fact check on this
I think because of the height he still died
The tropospheric terminal velocity of a penny, which is much lighter than a kiwi bird, is still up around 25mph. Even given the kiwi's larger surface area, I'd assume it's greater mass would give a kiwi bird a higher terminal velocity than a penny. Kiwi is at least banged up after this fall. I googled "terminal velocity of a kiwi bird" but I guess no one's done that study. Time to apply for a grant!
@@SlavaSesh so he would've likely survived, albeit a little messed up?
Denial :(
Considering pine trees weight around 2-3 tons, and the fact that the kiwi was able to get all those trees up that completely vertical cliff, i’d say its impossible that a kiwi that strong could die from that fall
This bird literally lifted dozens of trees up this cliff the size of the empire state building. He’s not dead. He’s only practicing for the real thing.
