Kiwis look like small ostriches with narrow beaks! So cute!
They also look like the Pokémon named Doduo or Dodrio but with just a single head!
Poke'mon are NOT real, soooo.....
Pokémon are based on real animals and creatures!
@@emilyhopemeechem4183 I've seen the show, but still NOT REAL ANIMALS OR CREATURES THEMSELVES LOL
@@billybob-ro6qfthey said they look like pokemon. They didn’t say they are animals, let alone real.
Feel bad for the parents... It ok, bird parents! Your child is safe and happy. They may never know you, but at least you remember them :D
I feel bad for the parents ☹️ They just think your stealing the egg to eat it. How heart breaking.
Eaten or not they still stole the baby if you think about it :(
You're*
but 98% of baby kiwi get killed by soats and cats , so it justfies the means to
no
@@viemarirunoa no one likes the grammar police
I saw a show like this on Discovery channel a few years ago, until then I thought they were about the size of pigeon, not the size of a wild goose.
Such a wonderful footage~ Thank you for sharing this~🤗
What’s weird is that they also uploaded the same video 4 years ago
Cute round birb
we must save kiwis
Please more NZ series, love it.
How the f*ck do the Kiwis survive that egg size? 😳
huge cake
As I heard, kiwi’s giving birth to a huge egg is like giving birth to a 6 year old child
That's a lot of pain just like my mom giving birth to me
@@minhthuvu611 well kiwis tend to give birth, it hurts and not only that, their baby is bigger than their whole body, so it’s like giving birth to a 3 year old chld
4:12 wow basically a big Kiwi lair swallowed the guy whole.
4:20 No way cause mi chills
Amazing discovery
1:51 death stranding
oh beautiful
Real Kiwi hours!
"10 years ago, researchers from the department of conservation developed a rescue strategy that might actually work. They took an old warehouse, filled it with dirt and plants (and loads of worms and other food insects) and a few water sources with proper lighting set to simulate day and night; then put a bunch of Kiwi into it before closing the door so that they could live in a non-hostile environment were all of their needs were met, allowing them to multiply and be cycled back out into the wild to bolster their numbers..." is how this should have went.
Wow that's a really smart idea.
If only it were that simple
@@muffinconsumer4431 but how is it not
@@jessewru6425 That would be keeping them in captivity, similar to domestic farm animals. Not only would it deprive the environment of the purpose they serve, spreading seeds, eating bugs, and feeding predators, it would quickly result in a population of kiwis who have lost the natural ability to survive in the wild. Their immune systems, their instincts, and even crucial evolutionary adaptations will be hindered, and that's IF the species even accepts captivity at all. Many times such conservation efforts have been made for other species, only to result in the animals dying of stress bc their exact environmental needs were not being met.
It's a VERY tricky and delicate thing to interfere at all with wild animals. These kiwis are actually pretty easy, since they hatch fully capable of independence. For most birds, conservationists have to go to great lengths to avoid "contaminating" them both literally and figuratively, by masking their scents and using hand puppets made to look like adult birds to feed and interact with them until they're able to be released.
And for kiwis in particular, I've heard they're remarkably territorial and generally solitary, which means that their enclosure would either have to be massive, or have rooms for each one, meaning the enclosures would need to be opened to allow for breeding, but having been isolated up until then, they could easily just get into nasty, dangerous fights. And without any way for natural selection to ensure the most successful genes get passed down, hereditary defects and illnesses would become a significant issue quite quickly. It's just not a sustainable model, I'm afraid.
@@elleofmusic very explicative nice
The moment she said "iëg" I felt it
Nice video
Why is it assumed the egg wouldnt live in the wild?
The parent can't protect it
Because theres predator?
@@snoweex yeah, stoats which are an invasive species
@@snoweexdoesn’t mean they should take it.
@@blahblahblah901 fym they shouldn't take it,did i need to repeat myself?there are PREDATORS they would eat the fucking eggs and would slow down the whole fucking 'not letting kiwis go extinct' stuff
That's rather mean to take the bird's only egg. Birds have feelings too. I guess they feel it's like Child Protective Services...
How did you know that the parents of the bird is not 💓 heart broken after you took the egg from them ?
they most definitely were
because they are like Ostrich STUPID birds who could care less about their young. In fact the bible tells us how DUMB Ostrich are & that's the way God created them. Job chapter 39 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, But are her wings and pinions [like the] kindly stork’s?
For she leaves her eggs on the ground, and warms them in the dust;
She forgets that a foot may crush them, or that a wild beast may break them.
She treat her young harshly, as though [they were] not hers; her labor is in vain, without concern,
It does look like mause
Damn aliens just came and abducted the baby
Why did you take the egg from the parents!? 🫤
All kiwi birds are flightless... not just one type of Kiwi.
I want a kiwi bird now.
They're Wild Animals, not pets!
5-6 days to hatch!
Need to take proper steps to preserve wild kiwi bird population...
I thought kiwi birds were extinct? Well this is pretty cool!
They're not extinct, but they're so close to it.
you are thinking of dodos
1080 them right xd
Guys why u don’t like the video?
They sent the exact same video 4 years ago…
When I see a kiwi I just have to say LLLLAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR KKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIWWWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What in the world does one feed a Kiwi chick?
The same thing you feed an adult in your care. Kiwi are omnivores. They will eat insects, worms and nuts.
It lost the ability to fly because it didn’t have predators to kill it. Plain and simple.
WRONG, it was Created by God not to fly. God created all things & they DO NOT "EVOLVE" don't believe the lies of this world, rather take God at His word.
@@billybob-ro6qf please learn science. Reality is much different than what some dude wrote thousands of years ago…
@@MasterYota1 Please learn the TRUTH of GOD'S word instead of believing the lies of men & the devil.
@@MasterYota1 Obviously you believe books written by men full of lies on evolution & millions of years yet reject God's Holy Word. So sad.
@@billybob-ro6qfThe Bible was written by humans, with far less knowledge millennia ago than the people today.
That lady is gorgeous
I bet they originated from an ???????
Kiwi
With the new continent that has just been discovered zealandia it's possible to birds walked over when water levels were low enough
probably just flew there and then lost the ability to.
If the bird is so endangered, why are you taking the mothers natural ability to hatch the egg away from it?
The answer to your question is in the video
In wild it has lesser chance of survival
The video only says there are predators in the wild. That doesnt seem to justify the 20-30 that they took, literally from under a mother.
@@GalayethZen they took one egg from under the mother though? And it IS in the wild. Even an eagle could come in and swoop away a baby kiwi or the baby could get affected by a disease. If they keep track of the young ones and make sure they grow healthy and well and later release them into the wild their chances of survival are higher. They took only the kid not the mom they will release the bird back when it's safe, most probably
I know that taking the egg from the mother bird can break their hearts, but I think maybe the purpose is to give more chance the egg to hatch, rather than in the habitat itself. Cmiiw.

Feel for the parents. Do better than this. It's cruel
Why steal their eggs? Stop interfering with nature.
Well they are going to die out if that happens😂
@@lunny0166 Furry muff (fair enough).
Question ¿ do these birds deserve to be saved¿ I ask as a Christian, yes humans may be the reason they are dying off however how do we not know this was god’s plan to begin with? God knows everything and he has a plan for everyone so humans causing extinction might be part of the whole plan. FYI I’m not saying we should let them and other animals go extinct I’m just trying to look at the situation from every side and curious to see what others think about it whether good or bad.
Humans have 2 sides. Destroyer or protector. It's up to you which one, but saving them can help our next generation to see them not in a picture only, but in a real habitat. I think this is a God's plan too.
@@arlaputra6363 god made us have one job and that is to protect the planet, animals and anyone else form anything
Yes we have 2 sides
We do whatever the fuck we want, and if we want to save a defenceless bird with a big butt that should've been erased by good ol' darwin, all because it's goddamn cute?
Then by god we are going to do so.
@@jojojo5145 I can tell why your a disappointment by just looking at that pfp
Using religious beliefs to excuse shitty behavior and thoughts is a quick way to make those with common sense disgusted by you. Christianity is already problematic and your proving it.
a dead stuffed kiwi in the research facility? humans show their affection so fucking wierdly
Taxidermy. It is one of the many ways we study animals, though hardly the only way. Some are antiques and irreplaceable.
