My kiwi report

The kiwi is a small flightless bird. It is only found in New Zealand.

The kiwi has a long beak,that it use to dig worms and eat it. It is covered with brown fur. It has short legs, with sharp, strong claws.

The kiwi’s lives in the forest, mainly in the north of New Zealand. many live in the special islands that don’t have predators.

The kiwi uses it’s beak to dig in the ground. It’s eats worm and other bugs.

The kiwi lags one large egg. The egg is huge compared to the size of the kiwi. Kiwi can run faster than a human. The kiwi sleep during the daytime, and hunts for food at night.

I think the kiwi is a little strong bird and it is very cute.
