UP CLOSE & ACTIVE

 

When our kiwi are younger, we display them in specially designed nocturnal enclosures where the day and night cycles have been reversed.

Visitors to the park can see these young kiwi during the day carrying out their normal kiwi behaviour such as probing for insects and earthworms in the soil, bathing in the ponds, and digging burrows or climbing logs. The enclosures have native plants, leaf litter, soil and logs that host a wide range of invertebrates and fruits which make up the majority of the kiwi diet
