Kiwi Bird Facts and Conservation

The video explores the nocturnal life of the rare Hast Tokaweka kiwi in New Zealand's forests. It highlights the kiwi's unique sensory adaptations, such as its strong sense of smell and tactile feathers, which aid in foraging. Despite these adaptations, the kiwi faces significant survival challenges, with a very low population and high chick mortality. If fortunate, a kiwi can live up to 50 years.
