Do you know kiwi, a kind of fruit? Its Chinese name is
mihoutao. Can you guess what "the running kiwi" is? It is a bird that lives only in New Zealand. It sounds like "keewee",so people name it kiwi(几维鸟). It is as big as a chicken. Its mouth is very long and its eyes are very small. It has two feet and each foot has four toes. It has hair on its body, but it doesn't have any feathers like other birds. So it can't fly. Don't you think it's very special?
A kiwi likes to have a lot of trees around it. It sleeps in the tree holes all day because the sunlight is bad for its eyes. It always comes out for food at night. It can't see well but it can smell things with its nose. It is the only bird that can smell things very well. The kiwi's eggs are very big. There are only a few kiwis in New Zealand now.
