There are no indigenous mammals in New Zealand; it is a country of birds. The most famous of New Zealand's birds is the Kiwi, and all over New Zealand they have Kiwi Houses where you can go and look at them (for a fee of course).
We went to this Kiwi House in Otorohanga.
This is what a kiwi looks like. It is a pretty big bird with no wings so it is flightless and nocturnal. The real kiwi we saw was in a dark enclosure and they had to wake him. We couldn't take any pictures of the real kiwi.
There were heaps of other birds to look at as well.
And one more picture of the kiwi.
