NZ’s Endangered Bird


Many years ago the kiwi population was filled to the top but the magnificent creature is disappearing  and someday all of those myths, facts and the bird itself will be lost in history.


Predators

Kiwis are threatened to extinction. Many feral cats and animals like rats  possums and mustelids are wiping them off the face of the planet… but they are not the worst threats. There are less of these flightless birds every day, caused by predators and some cars one day there will be none left. The furry creatures are a
vulnerable target  for animals. There are a variety of Predators all over nz making the hunted bird part of their diet. Dogs are the worst threats to the native bird because Adult kiwis can’t fight them off because the dogs are colosal to them.

Diet

The little bird is an omnivorous creature. It’s diet contains plants,bugs and grubs. Some of the bugs it eats are cockroaches,grasshoppers,beetles and crickets. The little creature also eats worms. They can detect worms from under 3 cm deep. The bugs contain moisture so the New Zealand icon rarely

drinks.

Habitat

The endangered species Thrive in the forest but due to deforestation there is less places for them to hide and survive. The unique creatures sleep in their daytime burrows which is normally located under a tree. Some other species make labyrinths under ground which is a arrangement of tunnels, some leading to a dead end and a few leading to another burrow entrance or exit.

These creatures are on a pathway to certain extinction but if we join forces and look after the mini bird they would probably make a slow but steady rise with population!
