- The kiwi bird is a huge icon of New Zealand. Unfortunately it is also threatened with extinction. I followed the Department of Conservation for their biggest kiwi release yet. FIFTY kiwi were released on the same day. Pretty memorable experience. I took my camera so you guys can enjoy it too!
More on the kiwi and their big day on:

I didn't realize how big they actually are until now. They look cuddly.
It's relative can easily eating you..
I thought you were going to be feeding them kiwi fruit the whole video
Haha apologies for the confusion :) Kiwis for Kiwi is a New Zealand organisation helping the survival of the kiwi bird. Kiwis stands for New Zealanders! Kiwi has a lot of different meanings in New Zealand. That's why they often say kiwi bird and kiwi fruit (adding those words to it makes it clear what they are). New Zealanders are just called Kiwis though :)
They seem so relaxed and kinda cool. Glad they are doing well with helping them not go extinct.
+Holly Dayz I agree, I think they're kind of cool too and quirky :)
What amazing work being done here! I didn't know there were so few kiwi left. Thanks for raising awareness and let's hope that those fifty will give a great boost to the kiwi population.
+Notes of Nomads Thanks for your comment! Many people indeed don't know how bad their situation is. And indeed fingers crossed those extra 50 will give a great boost!
For dog lovers, note that the fine is $100,000 if you're caught with a dog in a New Zealand national park. You can't even have the dog on leash or in the car. So don't be misled by the specialist dog shown in the video, leave your dogs at home.
What about cats?
@@NZC_Meow Cats hunt as well so I doubt It, both dogs and cats hunt small animals and guess what kiwis are? Small animals!
I'm an American but I've fallen in love with the Kiwi how would I help these weird and wonderful birds??
Hi Shanen, thanks for your message. The kiwi bird is indeed such a special bird. If you're one day visiting New Zealand, you could always help setting traps to catch predators. From the U.S. you could always support them with some money. Kiwis for Kiwi are an amazing organisation trying to protect the kiwis. Here is there donate page, with information what the money can change for the kiwi. www.kiwisforkiwi.org/donate/ Hope this helps! And what helps too, is just spreading the word of this beautiful bird, so people are thinking more about conservation and wildlife. Thanks!
The World is a Circus I'm planning a trip to NZ I'll keep you in mind..Kia Ora
I swear, I grew up thinking Kiwi birds were extinct. But I'm so happy they are still around and thriving thanks to conservationists.
Me too! I got them mixed up with the Dodo bird.
So great!!! I LOVE kiwis!!!! When we lived in NZ for a year we got to see them in the Queenstown bird park, but never in the wild. I love the sound they make! So cute! Thank you for sharing!
+CuriousCalifornians Thanks a lot Jess! Awesome you're so excited about them as me! It is indeed super hard to spot them in the wild! When making this video, it was also the first time I saw them and I released one as well. Quite a memorable day :)
haha! Yeah, I love nature and birds! I studied Tourism and Biology in school and loved learning about the wildlife. :D
+CuriousCalifornians Well, you know which country you'll have to go to ;) We have so many weird and cute birds in New Zealand.
im from the usa and kiwis are so fuzzy!!!
Yano I'd have a difficult time letting a adorable Kiwi go..it's the parent in me
I love these birds. I'm British so theirs proboly a 1 in a million chance if seing these adorable beauty's in person, so can somebody tell me how i can help save the kiwis in some way?
+Cactus Cucumber Hi! Kiwis are beautiful and interesting birds, great you feel the same! If you'd like to help them from the UK, have a look at the website of Kiwis for Kiwi. There are a lot of ways you can help them (check the Take Action Tab) www.kiwisforkiwi.org/ And if you really want to see a kiwi you'll have to come to New Zealand :) Cheers! Lieselot
Yeah I've seen a kiwi once, was in Wellington zoo, they are cute, if you came to nz it shouldn't be too hard to be able to see one, unless you are looking for a wild one.
This comment is old as hell but there is a kiwi in Britain! I've been to see it myself! It's the UK's only kiwi bird at Paington Zoo in Devon!
@@TheWorldisaCircus I checked the link you wrote here because I love New Zealand and the kiwi birds. I am only 12 years old so I must ask my mother to donate:
Me: mother, you know that I follow New Zealand in everything, especially cricket. So I want to donate 1,200 for saving their iconic bird that has represented them for hundreds of years. Even the famous kiwifruit was named after them. [I really want to taste the kiwifruit. It is not available here]
Mother: are you serious? 1,200 is a lot of money.
Me: you can eat a 9 inch pizza at a restaurant for 1,500 but you can't save a bird with 1,200. What about 50?
Mother: no
Me: even beggars on the street expect to get 100 from people and you have a problem with giving 50?
Mother: did you forget where you live? You live in Bangladesh. And they are asking for NZD, not BDT.
Me: checks what is 1NZD in BDT and gets the answer "1NZD=54BDT" then goes to calculate what is 1,200 in BDT. The answer is over 64,000
Mother: See this is why I can't donate 1,200. And 50 NZD is 2700 BDT is also too much.
Me: OK sorry you don't need to donate anything.
I WANT TO KEEP AND LOVE A KIWI!!! THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!
Haha I'm with you! They are incredibly cute
I live there and the kiwis are so so cute
Yes I totally agree :) They are so quirky and cute. It's great that Kiwis for kiwis and DOC do so much effort in getting their numbers up again! Great place to live btw ;)
i wanna live there!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kiwis can be referring to the fruit, the bird, or a New Zealander for those of you who are confused lol
1:59 reminds me of me when i alseep but one of my famali memebers is trying to get me out of bed
Haha nice comparison :)
I just love kiwis!!! So happy to see this video! So adorable and cuddly!

Ömg sooo fluffy the kiwi bird❤️❤️ just love them! Thanks for protecting such a beautiful creature ❤️❤️
The conservation teams in New Zealand do such good work!
They're so adorable! Always loved them, since I was a kid. So sad how all animals , everywhere are in danger of going extinct,yet they're able to be hunted. Disgusting humans! We don't deserve all the wild beauty.😥😥😥😥 Thank you for caring for these adorable fellows and trying to keep them around for a bit longer !❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your lovely comment Cynthia. I wish everyone realised like you and me how beautiful our planet is. It is indeed quite sad to see such a unique bird getting extinct. The only thing we can do is spread the word and make people aware!
The World is a Circus -- I want to love your response a million times, I tend to get emotional when I see just how poorly we treat this Earth and it's amazingly beautiful animals placed here. 😥 We need to step up our care of both our Land and animals...or there won't be much left for generations ahead of us. So many have already been lost to over population and destruction of their habitat. I will share this video as many times as I can to get more people to be aware of this adorable bird and it's decline in the wild ! They're just the sweetest lil guys ever...they deserve to be protected and saved. ❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most helpless creatures i've ever seen..
how my mom grabs me out of my room so that im not late for school 1:52
never thought fruits are running so fast.
Wow I wanna be part of something like this. Must be soul fueling 💖
Very interesting! First time we see a kiwi :)
