Where does the kiwi bird live what does it eats Can it swim What can we do to help the kiwi bird and to save it from being extinct How does the kiwi's nocturnal habits help them?

The kiwi is endemic to New Zealand. Its natural habitat is native forests but it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns. However, due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas.

Kiwi are strong swimmers.

Ways to help it include supervising domestic animals (dogs are responsible for a huge number of kiwi deaths) and to limit further deforestation.

Being nocturnal helps the kiwi to avoid predators as it forages for food.
