We WISH we could show you a wonderful picture of a NZ Large Spotted Kiwi here, but the place does not allow photos, and besides, kiwis are nocturnal, and so the lighting in their enclosure would be impossible to take a picture in. Let's just say that it was a REALLY cool experience to see a kiwi awake and running about looking for worms, bugs and whatever else he eats.
This is a Pukeko, a ubiquitous NZ bird. People love their blue color.
I don't know what to say, but want to comment because I can ;) I imagine the real Kiwi was much cuter than the one you are hugging. Birds are cuter when they are small I think.
