Diet
Kiwis eat invertebrates for example earthworms,spiders and beetles but out of all of those the earthworms are the kiwis favourite, luckily NZ is rich in earthworms.

also like damp areas and wetlands. Kiwis dig burrows for nests underground. Kiwis like to live in the forest because they like a dark surrounding. Around 15,000 have made an home on Stuart island. If kiwis don't live in their normal habitat they will die.Kiwi birds run away from animals/predators.
