Fowl or Fruit?

While the name may suggest a relationship between the land based bird and the delicous fruit, no common ancestors have been found. This site focuses on spreading word of a certain feathered ornithological piece - the bird. However, we encourage you to partake in enjoying the fruit as well! (and at the same time to keep the fluffy friend in your heart while doing so)

Size - roughly the height and weight of a standard chicken

Location - New Zealand, but more recently in zoos across the globe

Population - estimated 70,000 Kiwi left on New Zealand

Personality - Ambiverts, but each Kiwi is an individual and generalizations can be hurtful.

Endangered! - with so few Kiwis left, they have been marked as endangered.

With no affiliation to Illicitkiwi.com, we encourage you to donated to the 'Kiwis for Kiwi' website:

Kiwis for Kiwi donations

This fantastic community helps prevent further decline in Kiwi populations by dealing with pests and sheltering eggs to adulthood. So please, consider a donation - Even a small one helps!
