The Kiwi is the only bird with nostrils at the tip of its beak. Whereas other birds hunt by sight or by hearing, the national bird of New Zealand uses its beaky nostrils to sniff out food at night. Although the Kiwi is roughly the same size as a chicken, it lays an egg which is 10 times larger than a hen’s. It also has wings but cannot fly. I wonder about these wonderful creations of God....bonk Cheers Chella
You are right gods creations are wonderful. Thanks for sharing this information. do you know that kiwi is also one of the endangered species.
Hi Chella,:hiya You do have a knack of unearthing really quaint facts from our animal or feathered kingdom inhabhitants.Thanks for the same. The kiwi shares the same characteristic of the canines as it has the habit of sniffing out food.....hmn.....now that is something new....this sniffing habit. Who knows maybe they can be trained like our sniffer dogs too!!Big Laugh Poor dears ...got wings but can't fly like other birds.God was very absentminded when he created the KIWI and now we hear it is an endangered species too.Maybe God is going to pull these kiwis off the shelf and we'll soon get new models that fly !!:cheers
