Brown Kiwi

Until 2000, the Brown Kiwi was thought to include the Rowi and the Tokoeka, in addition to the North Island Brown Kiwi. However using genetic codes from each of the above it was determined that the Tokoeka was a separate species, it took the Apteryx australis name , leaving the Brown Kiwi with its current Apteryx mantelli name. Soon after, in 1998, more genetic tests were done with the rowi and it was determined that it was a separate species . In 2004 an injured bird was found with streaked white around the head and identified by Massey University. The white feathering is likely due to a rarely seen genetic variation sometimes described as a partial albino. Few documented cases exist with only a painting of one found in Otorohanga in the 18th century and a specimen in the Canterbury Museum. The injured bird recovered and was introduced into a breeding programme.

The Brown Kiwi is classified as Endangered (EN), considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

The nocturnal flightless brown kiwi is so remarkably unbirdlike in appearance and behavior that is has sometimes been referred to as an "honorary mammal." The kiwi's "fur" is actually a thick covering of shaggy hairlike grey-brown feathers. The useless vestigial wings (4-5 cm long) are completely hidden under the plumage. They have no external tails. The wide spacing of their robust sharp-clawed legs gives them an amusing rolling gait. More

Though Stewart Island brown kiwi emerge from their burrows to forage at dusk or on overcast days, the kiwi is a nocturnal bird.

worldwide—currently, there are only 12 female brown kiwis in zoos outside New Zealand.

The long, thin bill is ivory and, uniquely for birds, has nostrils located at the end (2) (4). As flightless birds, kiwis may look quite bizarre as they lack visible wings (2); indeed, the genus name Apteryx means 'wingless' in Latin (5). More
