It's an individual from the ratite group, and identified with the ostrich, emu and rhea and in addition the now wiped out New Zealand moa. This bird, regardless of whether it isn't all the time observed, is notable. It has given its name to New Zealanders, who are called "Kiwis" the world over.



The bird was called kiwi by the Maori. Later NZers were called Kiwis. Some time around the 1970s the fruit of Actinidia, native to China, yet cherished in New Zealand, which was until the point when at that point called chinese gooseberry was renamed kiwifruit as a marketing move. Adventitiously, these Kiwi birds have nothing to do with kiwi fruit.
