The Kiwi – the New Zealand (Aotearoa ) bird often used as mascot of the country – is truly unique!
It has loose feathers that are more like fur and unlike other birds the feathers moult throughout the year. It is the only bird in the world with nostrils at the end of its beak. Its sense of smell is second to none. It has no tail feathers, but does have whiskers, like a cat.
