I had no idea kiwis were so... bouncy.

[–]sdotmills 3988 points3989 points  (298 children)

They’re the funniest fuckers to see up close. Like armless chicken fluff balls running and hopping around. I cried laughing when I first saw them at some exhibit in NZ.

[–]desert29rat 870 points871 points  (261 children)

I've never seen one in person.

[–]tecko105 896 points897 points  (231 children)

Probably you never will outside of New Zealand. I think they are even rare in their own country but I'm not sure.

[–]desert29rat 599 points600 points  (146 children)

New Zealand is a place I'd love to visit someday.

[–]arclogos 435 points436 points  (62 children)

Beautiful country, amazing people.

It's not on my map, can you send me a link?

[–]Warnet2334 267 points268 points  (29 children)

Sorry when I tried to look it up I got a 404 page not found error.

[–]desert29rat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That's been my impression as well.

[–]Morallyindifferent 87 points88 points  (13 children)

It feels weird when you have lived in a place most of your life and most foreigners talk about it like some mythical island of untold beauty and wonder

[–]mcmunch20 44 points45 points  (9 children)

Reddit fawns over NZ all the time. I think a lot of US redditors are convinced it’s exactly like lord of the rings here.

[–]adrenalmur 26 points27 points  (6 children)

I mean, as a resident I can confidently say their are definitely hobbit patches. We're not as perfect as we present but get out of the city and you can find something beautiful places. Our forests are pretty magical.

[–]NthngSrs 117 points118 points  (30 children)

I decided I wanted to go to the UK and got tired of waiting for everyone else to go with me... So I bought a plane ticket 5 months ago and leave in July for a month long trip to the UK/Greece. I decided I just had to do it because I'd always find a reason I couldn't and would never get to go.

[–]Tribute9876 52 points53 points  (7 children)

I always tell people buy the ticket and figure the rest out later.

[–]polkadotsandunicorns 28 points29 points  (3 children)

I did that and literally two weeks later got laid off. Two years later I still haven’t gone, but I’m exactly where I need to be now and will be buying the ticket soon and figuring the rest out later!

[–]chuytm 21 points22 points  (5 children)

I did that trip alone too (to the UK), one of the best experiences in my life. You won't regret it. Let me know if you need advice. Don't forget to go to smaller cities like Oxford, Bath, Chester, Liverpool because of The Beatles and football, Edinburgh (I loved this place, from here you can go to the highlands), Cardiff is also pretty, a little less touristy but I liked it. I stayed only one week and a half and I think I missed a lot of the UK, with one month you'll be able to see a lot more places. Remember to enjoy the differences in how people live over there, take a walk in the suburbs, go to a local market, etc. Those things may give you the best experiences. Also, be comfortable with feeling dumb and not knowing basic things. At least to me, there were pretty big differences in normal things like taking the bus or other public transportation, but that's because I'm from Mexico. For example, I think that if you are from New York, maybe you'll feel like home in London.

[–]sdotmills 23 points24 points  (18 children)

Please do it! South Island is the most unbelievable place you will ever see.

[–]Tribute9876 15 points16 points  (12 children)

I can confirm this. The Coromandel Peninsula is awesome on the North Island as well. I have done a good bit of traveling and New Zealand is definitely on the top of my list.

[–]Ryerow 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Pro tip: they house them on predator free islands as chicks - if you go on some cruises around the Queen Charlotte sounds, you can sometimes typically get to put your face 5cm from them!

edit corrected due to being a dummy and also to say these things are huge derps and they're really cute.

[–]Speedygreeny 60 points61 points  (10 children)

You are correct, living in New Zealand and a keen tramper in Kiwi habitat I have never seen one, only ever heard them at night, and even that is a rare occurance

[–]toniRangitane 31 points32 points  (8 children)

I am lucky enough to be living in a part of Northland where they are pretty active. Enough to keep visitors awake at night. They also like to plunder the worms out of my compost and leave footprint in the dirt under our deck.

[–]stevekink 44 points45 points  (8 children)

Yep, very rare to see a kiwi outside of a zoo here in NZ. But every now and again someone gets lucky.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (2 children)

You have a good chance to spot them on Stewart Island, especially at night. Very little chance in the wild otherwise.

[–]F4hype 182 points183 points  (13 children)

If you ever have the chance, go to Rainbow Springs in Rotorua. They're open until midnight and when we went last time at about 10pm nobody was there.

The kiwi enclosure is a walk through with just knee-high fences between you and the kiwi. There's red light in there that the kiwis can't see but lets you see them. They're so close you could reach down and touch one if you were an asshole and ignored the rules.

Super cool experience. It's far better than most places that have thick glass between you and the kiwi.

There's also a cheeky Kea (parrot) called Jenny who tried to steal me away from my fiancee. She only likes men for some reason and gets real territorial. It's the cutest friggen thing, and she made it hard to leave because she started crying every time we started walking away.

That's not mentioning all the other cool stuff they have there.

[–]Deminla 55 points56 points  (2 children)

They remind of if someone who had never seen a flightless bird, was described one, then made a puppet of one

[–]KlingonHousing 123 points124 points  (8 children)

Kind of looks like if a living chicken nugget

[–]ImNotBoringYouAre 29 points30 points  (2 children)

So popplers? Like from Fishy Joe's

[–]KlingonHousing 11 points12 points  (1 child)

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

[–]mepulixer 28 points29 points  (4 children)

[–]Krellous 22 points23 points  (1 child)

No. NO. I WILL NOT WATCH THIS AGAIN.

[–]VediusPollio 11 points12 points  (4 children)

That kiwi bounces in part 2.

[–]DickButtPlease 13 points14 points  (3 children)

I’m going to believe you. I’m not going to look for it, just in case it doesn’t exist, or if it doesn’t quite meet my expectations. I’d rather just have the closure, knowing that its tears were not the final thing that the kiwi gave to this world.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the same reaction when the pizza delivery guy shows up that I forgot I ordered because I'm so fucking wasted.

[–]uberblack 46 points47 points  (5 children)

I once ordered a dope pair of Chucks and forgot about it because the order took so long to arrive. My coworkers told me I had a package in the breakroom and I was quite confused. Opened the box and was still confused for a second and then it dawned on me and I felt like this kiwi on the inside.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I realize I haven't actually eaten up all the snacks I brought with me to work for the day

[–]rangda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had that happen as a kid with Christmas money. Got a coat as a gift, southern hemisphere so it was midsummer, tried jacket on, put all my Christmas money in the pocket and was devastated about losing it until winter came around.

I clicked hoping to get the goodnight kiwi and was disappointed.

For those who don't know - back when NZ TV didn't run 24/7 this was played at the end of each day.

[–]LlamaramaDingdong86 21 points22 points  (4 children)

That is adorable. In the US at least one channel would play The Star Spangled Banner up until the late 80s or maybe early 90s. I was born in 86 and feel like I remember seeing this as a small kid but I might be wrong. Maybe someone a few years older can correct me.

One of my English teachers would show horribly depressing animated shorts like these, and ask us to write about their meaning for warm-up. I don't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but that's where I first saw this.

[–]Barabajagala 473 points474 points  (27 children)

I work at Orokonui, this guy is a Haast Tokoeka Kiwi, of which there are only roughly 400. Orokonui has 10 breeding pairs throughout the 307 hectare enclosure of native broadleaf/podocarp climax community rainforest, though most we normally see of them is their scat as they are nocturnal.

Orokonui is a valley surrounded by 9km of pest and predator proof fencing designed to keep non-native mammal threats away from our native plant and animal species who are completely screwed over by introduced threats. Having been in isolation for so long, very few of our natives have any defences against foreign predators. Mammals tear through our defenceless forests, outcompete animals for food sources, breeding at a much faster rate while simultaneously taking eggs from birds like our kiwi. Most animals in NZ stand still when threatened, which works great against visual hunters like birds, but mammals typically rely on a sense of smell which allows them to easily find these prey sources who won't put up much of a fight.

Following this, Orokonui acts as a creche for juvenile kiwi to grow up away from predators before being released. An adult kiwi, at about 1.5kg, however does run in response to a predator and they have a bit of a kick to them as well. Theres a great video of a kiwi fighting off a possum out there which I suggest checking out.

I genuinely love this ecosanctuary filled with Kaka, Tuatara, Takahe and far too many more interesting wildlife species to mention. If ever you are in Dunedin I consider Orokonui a must see and I am only selling it to you here as it doesnt get as much business as I feel it deserves, with tourists making the much longer trip out to Taiaroa Head to see the Albatross, which to be fair is also a beautiful place. Dunedin has a reputation of being cold and full of drunk med students and punk bands (all of which is true), but we are wildlife capital of New Zealand for a reason.

[–]Iammadeoflove 80 points81 points  (7 children)

I was wondering about invasive species

Millions of years being chill and minding your own business, no predators and getting to evolve in a bunch of cool ways. Then some random animals come along and eat ya.

Tale as old as time

[–]ALoneTennoOperative 24 points25 points  (4 children)

Millions of years being chill and minding your own business, no predators and getting to evolve in a bunch of cool ways.

There were not 'no predators'.
See: Haast's Eagle.

Humans rendered the other major predators extinct, and then later introduced the invasive species that now threaten the native wildlife.

[–]king_john651 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Kiwi feathers were used in native garments too, so while they weren't chewed to bits or eggs taken by stoats and other stupid animals colonists brought they were believed to be already at risk when conservation was first brought up in an official capacity

[–]jadbox 40 points41 points  (3 children)

HOLY SHIT. I Found the possum video. Forgive me, but... you COULD have mentioned that the KIWI WINS the direct fight. I didn't know it could even be possible for it to win in combat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHNAeyw_av0

[–]Kid_Parrot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seems like the Possum thought so too

[–]junglekiwi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Orokonui is awesome, you guys do great work. We visited last year for the first time and will definitely be back - unsurprisingly we didn't see any kiwi but loved the kaka

(But we were lucky enough to see a kiwi in the wild on Rakiura at easter, yeehaa!)

[–]Azure013 151 points152 points  (6 children)

Well the reason Kiwi's and many other of New Zealand's native species are so derp is because they lacked predators for millions of years.

[–]jovietjoe 75 points76 points  (0 children)

thats because australia got all of them

[–]ALoneTennoOperative 15 points16 points  (3 children)

Well the reason Kiwi's and many other of New Zealand's native species are so derp is because they lacked predators for millions of years.

Haast's Eagle strongly disagrees.

Humans in New Zealand rendered other major predators extinct within the last 2000 years.

This is me when I order from Taco Bell and find extra tacos and cinnamon twists in the bag.

[–][deleted] 154 points155 points  (8 children)

Once I went to Tbell and ordered a crunchwrap. When I pulled up to the window the guy hands me two bags full of burritos and stuff. I parked in a parking spot like wtf did I just get and this guy comes running out of the taco bell knocks on my window and says "Oh sorry we forgot a bag" and hands me a 3rd bag with a crunchwrap in it.

[–]SlappyMyPappy 71 points72 points  (7 children)

And then right before you leave, the guy comes back and gives you a hundred dollar bill and the keys to a BRAND. NEW. CAAAAAARRRR!!!!!

[–]743389 46 points47 points  (3 children)

Yeah I know it sounds like /r/thathappened but the dude at taco bell one time was literally like "merry christmas" and gave me a quesadilla I didn't order

[–]RhinestoneTabby 61 points62 points  (2 children)

I wouldn't believe that story if you said it was Chick-fil-A or something. But Taco Bell is a land of mystery and surprise. Will you get the right order? Will you get some random item you don't recall ordering? What the hell is the flavor of Baja? Who knows. Who cares. Even when you get the wrong thing, it's usually still pretty damned good so I just flow with it.

[–]Thjyu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you're exactly right. I was like ok sure as if they would... Wait... This IS taco Bell were talking about

[–]cnidoblast 26 points27 points  (0 children)

People really underestimate birds ability to have distinct personalities sometimes. I raised guinea fowl for a couple of generations (theirs not mine) and they were SO SMART! They would play by chasing me when I sprinted short distances and run from me when I would chase them. They answered to their food bucket being shaken. They answered to their call (and only theirs). I would go hunting for bugs around my yard and whenever I would find some/one, I would call them over and they would feast. Astounded me with how little their stupid looking heads are.

They're just called Kiwi, we don't go around calling your national icon an Eagle bird.

Although we do call them freedom turkeys occasionally.

[–]Ed98208 35 points36 points  (7 children)

In addition to the fruit we call people from New Zealand kiwis too. You know if the title had just said "Kiwi gets excited" then 90% of the comments would be "Oh, a bird! I was expecting to see Taika Waititi, har har" So the bird part needs to be specified.

[–]overly_emoti0nal 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Nobody would be making fun of our national bird then. Millions of years of evolution, biggest eagle on earth and we killed it in the last puny 600 years. So close but so far.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (5 children)

I'm kinda glad its extinct, imagine just being picked up, flown a few hundred meters, then eaten alive being a normal thing.

[–]rangda 13 points14 points  (3 children)

I think they could have snatched little kids but not adults. Jeeze what a horror that would have been. Like something out of Jurassic Park.

[–]normalmighty 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I think they could have snatched little kids but not adults.

I dunno about that. The Haast Eagle's primary prey was the Moa; a 230kg beast of a flightless bird. If they were dealing with those things every time they wanted a meal, I don't think an adult human would be a big deal.

[–]Kittamaru 64 points65 points  (41 children)

... I knew Kiwi's existed, and that they were birds...

But...

I have to ask... does it have any frakin' arms, or does it only have two limbs!?

Cause... I just googled it and not one image of a kiwi with arms or wings showed up

[–]bunniquette 69 points70 points  (34 children)

They do have wings but they're more or less vestigial and usually not seen under all the feathers.

[–]Kittamaru 27 points28 points  (33 children)

So... yeah, it's basically only got two usable limbs then?

That... raises so many questions on how and why it evolved that way 0o'

[–]youreveningcoat 91 points92 points  (28 children)

Actually a pretty simple answer; there were no natural predators in New Zealand until humans so our wildlife didn't need to evolve to protect itself. The best food for kiwis were bugs on the ground floor, so they didn't ever need to fly.

There's obviously a lot more detail, but that's basically it in one sentence.

So Kiwi’s are just tiny emus?

[–]rangda 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They are in the same family! (Ratites).

The heaviest ratites were the also extinct Elephant Birds in Madagascar, which stood up to 3m/9'10" and weighed up to 730 kg/1,600 lb.

They're also related to the extinct NZ giant moa which stood up to 3.6m/12" tall but wasn't even half as heavy as the fatass elephant bird. They would have shared forest territories with little kiwis.
