you’re not gonna get kiwifruit mixed up with a kiwi bird or kiwi human … because one is a fruit and one is a bird and one is a human.
Kiwi birds!!! The pride and joy of this awesome country.
To preface, I’ve seen kiwi birds twice. Both times were in bird sanctuaries. They are nocturnal animals so you’d usually have to wait until nightfall to see them. The best experience I had seeing kiwi birds was on this island near where my grandparents live, called Kapiti Island. It’s basically a massive free-roaming bird sanctuary with a bunch of bush walks and hills to climb, because as it’s an island they can monitor the (lack of) predators, such as stoats and cats.
So if you want to see one, go to a bird sanctuary! You could go to a zoo-type one, or for the real deal, an island sanctuary like Kapiti Island is an amazing experience. Though I would not recommend trying to grab one as a pet. Firstly, they’re very skittish, so you probably wouldn’t succeed. Secondly, I have a feeling it might be illegal.
Finally, I’m gonna second @true-blue-straya in that I REALLY hope you’re not mixing up kiwi birds and kiwi fruits. Or kiwi people.
What are you going to say next that eating kiwi people is illegal or something?
