Nyooooom
I don’t know why, but this comment absolutely portrays the single most apt description of that second picture haha.
Wish we had those running around in America. :( I’m always a little taken aback by how big they are!
need a kiwi for scale
That is a Kiwi. That’s where the word comes from, it’s the Maori name for that bird. The fruit was named after it and is strictly called “kiwi fruit” in NZ.
at least the person in the photo isn’t also a kiwi
that would be confusingI hate to be the one to break it to you, but…
And now I’m reminded that I will forever be teased by the New Zealand side of my family… 😅
I found a photo showing how large Kiwi can get, before we went to see them at the Te Puia Geothermal Park, and I was SHOCKED.
“Shel, how big did you think they were?”
I put my hands up🫸🫷to the size of a robin
“I don’t know… bird sized”
“Bird sized? … you’re gonna lose your shit when you see a ostrich”
😐😑😐🙄😮💨
I want to hold a kiwi…
Americans want kiwis as pets. Trump would like the eggs. Give us kiwis please!
Why is the word bird required? A kiwi is a kiwi, it’s literally the name of the animal. You don’t say pigeon bird?
Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?
and theres kiwi berries too.
Because the word Kiwi refers to other things.
A fruit, people from New Zealand, etc.
Lyrebird.
Also, there are non bird kiwis
