Kiwi facts: New Zealand's flightless birds | Animal Fact Files

[@Tushii]

Aw so sad they are endangered. They look extremely cute :0

[@michaelp.4890]

Mammalian traits in an already bizarre bird is very interesting. Evolution never ceases to amaze.

[@murzzilla]

I LOVE kiwi birds they are my most favorite bird and animal and I love them so much, it's so sad they are endangered tho. I hope New Zealand will do anything to save the kiwi birds. Tysm for the video very entertaining!

[@ShelbyOnSafari]

Gee whiz! Can take up to three days to hatch! That's crazy. Introduced predators are a bit tricky, I am researching the little blue penguins (who also live in New Zealand) and they too are suffering from introduced predators. Thanks for another great video guys! Loved the cat cameo too 💚 Shelby

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Good luck with your penguin episode! That sounds like fun. 😊😊

[@twistedbonniesanimationand9275]

They are one of my favorite birds

Kiwi:❤❤❤

[@KaiahnaB]

this is the first time I’ve seen this on google and can you make more videos

[@JenniferLupine]

Didn’t know there were 5 species! Thanks again for an informative and entertaining video! 👍👍

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Glad you enjoyed and learned something new! 😊

The cat popping up at the whiskers portion was the cutest

These birds are so cute!🤩 Great video and keep up the awesome work!😃

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Thanks so much 😊

[@iqrairfan7514]

Amazing video it taught my students so much!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Great to hear it!

[@massmouth]

Excellent video and obviously well researched. Let's hope the numbers grow with conservation and eradication of predators who should not have been in NZ and have decimated Kiwi Eggs. If young Kiwi given a chance will grow to see off the predators and give them a good pecking and thumping with their powerful feet. Go Kiwis!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Go Kiwis!! Let's see them return!!

[@3456yuhhhjjijZiadtui]

[@blakewright9044]

I love 💕 kiwis and my country new Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥝🥝🥝

[@eunaekim9216]

Somewhere in New Zealand there is a town where it's illegal to have a pet cat unless it's registered and neutered or spayed, and no new cat is allowed to enter the town, in order to protect the kiwi!

[@tomcatyyz]

Love these little guys...

[@ClairvoyantFish]

Can you get kiwi sounds?

[@keatonblackman472]

Imagine Lay Those Kind Of Eggs... Ouch!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Poor mama kiwis!

[@Josh-hc7ej]

[@Wikiwigamingneoblade]

They are my first favourite animal and bird

[@sanjaisrao484]

U explained very well thanks.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@hamsacc]

They're like tiny dinosaurs!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Many would argue they *are* tiny dinosaurs. 😊😊

[@hamsacc]

@@AnimalFactFiles Well, they are descendants of dinosaurs! Epic birbs

[@thephaneron3676]

+hamsacc Kiwi, Haast Eagle, Moa. Wait, so New Zealand is a chain of islands inhabited by dinosaurs? _"They spared no expense!"_ 😉

1:12 It's a theropod; what other kind of legs was it going to have?:p en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theropoda

[@piyanutnon6801]

This is so cute awwwww

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Completely agreed!

[@Col28]

Ya gotta love the weird ones! Especially the cute weird ones. Thanks!

[@nigelkissoon891]

Beautiful birds... Their eggs are huge...comparatively... They have been surviving a long time without human help ... Some problems are man-made...I'm not sure if this one is... They didn't happen by accident, From the digestive system to the reproductive system, just to name two...it can't be builded by chance... "Think" for yourself...don't let someone else do it for you...

[@gerryschmude3875]

Wow so interesting

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheNerdyKiwi]

I love kiwi birds, and I would love to try and support the foundations devoted to protecting them and helping them thrive! :D

[@AnimalFactFiles]

That sounds like an excellent plan!

[@lizard7553]

So basically, kiwis are birds that aren't birds

[@slushy4289]

Is a kiwi just a tiny velociraptor?

[@AnimalFactFiles]

To be fair, velociraptors were themselves much smaller than their media presentation, but absolutely yes!

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

There awesome!!!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Completely agreed!! Thanks for watching

[@thomasgeorgecastleberry6918]

I like the shoe polish they make.

[@Red-tn3wm]

They're so cute!! 😍

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Completely agreed 🥰

[@PhilJHaast7695]

After humans arrived, Kiwis survived better than a lot of other flightless birds in New Zealand. Flightless birds seem to generally have a disadvantage when competing with ground mammals. It seems that flight is the number one survival advantage birds can have.

[@TradingWisdom_SamarKantKumar]

Nice!!!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Thanks for watching!

[@odinchen6499]

Thank u I learn a lot at shcool

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Glad to hear that! 🥰

[@SikenServent]

Their eggs are 20% of their size...... That'd be like the average woman giving birth to a 35lb baby...... With the same equipment...... I'd hate to think about how many mommy kiwi's die from complications after an egg literally rearranges their organs

[@tinyGrim1]

Aww, poor kiwis. Very cool, and adorable creatures. Unlike humans. 😞

Humans better

Can you do a fact file on the American bullfrog

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Awesome request! We'll get it on our list! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@superblues3834]

i like kiwi birds

[@cheeseman4841]

Since when do they exist?

[@jerlee620]

Those are nothing like the kiwis in America.

[@grimdark_sh]

WOW those are some Big eggs

[@BirdsNation]

No offence, it's a good video. But: It's not a weird bird. We were killing everything similiar, ergo: We are the weirdos on this planet.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

I do not disagree that we are weirdos 😆🤪😅

[@la_patatew]

Kiwi :D

[@paulgirtu2463]

Next time do the Takahe.

Yet another reason to hate cats

I want one soo bad as a pet but no I wish the kiwi population was replaced with the crow population

[@julix9039]

Start hunting the invasive species and dogs and cats should not be roaming.
