Does a kiwi live in the rainforest?

Kiwi do not live in rainforests. Their natural habitat is native forests but due to deforestation of their natural habitat, they are now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns. Also due to habitat clearing, the kiwi has been forced to adapt to semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas. One variety, the Haast Brown kiwi, can be found in high sub-alpine tussock grasslands.

New Zealand forests are temperate rain forests (West Coast ) some Kauri forests in the far north could be subtropical rainforests.
