Kiwi could be extinct within 50 years. Now thousands of New Zealanders are fighting to save their national bird. 📻 | BBC World Service

The kiwi is a flightless bird native to New Zealand, celebrated for its distinctive appearance and remarkable adaptations. With its small, rounded body, long slender beak, and nostrils located at the tip, the kiwi uses its keen sense of smell to forage for insects and worms hidden underground—a rare trait among birds. Covered in soft, hair-like feathers, kiwis also lay eggs that are extraordinarily large relative to their body size. Nocturnal by nature and perfectly adapted to life on the forest
