Is the kiwi a fish

Yes, it is! The kiwi is a flightless bird from the genus Apteryx. It is also the name of a fruit.

Until 1995, three species of kiwis were recognized by scientists, but after genetic research, five species are now admitted :

• Common kiwi, also called tokoeka (Apteryx australis)
• Brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli)
• Kiwi d'Okarito (Apteryx rowi)
• Little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii)
• Great spotted kiwi (Apteryx haastii)

Kiwis live in New Zealand. Most are vulnerable according to IUCN's Red List, and Apteryx mantelli is endangered.
