They sniff and snuffle. Yes. Yes, this is a good birb.

Dinosaur Birb.

If I ever hear someone say "birb" in real life I will slap the living shit out of them.
Davito2000 human you dont good
Humans: "childbirth is so haaaard"
Kiwis:
Female hyenas: *AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!*
I thought the same thing, we have painkillers for example
@@ywoisug8845 they dont always do much but yeah... just saying
@@rehenabegum5686 yeah I know, just saying it helps less or more
Childbirth is still very traumatic to the woman's body, by all means, but that fuckin egg....jesus christ is almost as large as the goddamn mother! I'm cringing so harddd 😫
this is not a birb. it's not even a borb. this is advanced borbness. this is an orb.
Ichthusk too advanced!

Hard to understand why a national bird was allowed to reach such critically low levels ( 200 ) before action was taken. That is one incident away from extinction .
because most humans dont care. THe exact same reason why other species are extinct and many more are endangered and will eventually become extinct. For the exact same reason we have pollution, global warming, capitalism, ocean acidification, corrupt politicians making the laws, corporations dictating and controlling everything etc.....Because of what humans do to them and the complete apathy we have for every fucking thing. What a lovely species humans are.
Australia actively hunted their national animal to extinction cuz they thought it was a good idea.
Google User whats wrong with capitalism?
bop bop - Nothing wrong with the concept of capitalism, however, the proposed ideal of it does not mesh with the reality that large corporations boaster for. For instance, in the industry of work and competition for job roles it places stress into the workers - "We want the absolute best and we expect such from our employees." What this is and what many corporations splurge for, is neglecting the very real needs of the employees trained to work in the corporation - you can be fired for being human, for having very human needs. Still, there are organizations that strive to aid and supply to their employees and shift the methods or traditions of work, thus the employee is valid and maintains their place in the organization - HR and HR aid with this, of working to nullify the neglect of the employee; however, the environment is very competitive and continues to disregard the needs of the employee who may work diligently, but due to crisis or what have you, are still under threat of being replaced by the newest model.
Capitalism as well, in large, make the rules and standards of the industry. Very easily monopolies can form, which snuff out competing businesses that may be on the beginning side of things. Capitalism claims that 'competition leads to innovation and creation of the new and better', but in factuality it does not. That was the core proclamation of the 'American dream' in the ye old days, but in truth it stifles creativity - when big businesses make the rules, which in turn smite the small businesses which would encourage competition, it decimates the possibility of competition. Our medical industry especially suffers, in part from the higher education department that does not receive the influx of fresh students that would be capable of study and learning to become the next innovators of medicine, and in part due to the lack of innovation. Doctors become complacent with the old medical treatments, and many in America do no pursue the study and advancements of medicine; we can blame this on the Nation being one that is sue happy, and attempting new procedures with the potential to fail would be seen as malpractice or something. But the main factor is that corporations DON'T LIKE COMPETITION, which is kind of what capitalism is supposed to be. Strict regulations protect the people from erroneous ways of the largest corporations, but they rig it to remove the potential growth of those small businesses.
This is all just a small sample of why capitalism has failed the people. In ideal, it has promise, but the way the government and the massive corporations corrupt the image of it; it's a damn shame. We have such potential, yet we squander it on profits and grab and run. It's pretty tacky.
TheVeR01 okay then what would you propose? Communism? (Because we all know that will work)

Lovely creatures. I hope they never go extinct thanks to all the efforts of all those kind-hearted people.

The little squeaks are so cute

Oh yeah yeah
New Zealand, land of the weirdest birds that forgot how to bird.
They didn't need to bird. Isolated island, no predators for millions of years. But then the people came with their rats and dogs and killed all the birds.
*dinosaurs that forgot how to not fly and then remembered
Modern earth, land that dinosaurs learned to bird.
Between NZ and Aus, it's the land where the misfit animals roam. You think the kiwi is weird, Australia has cassowaries. Massive velociraptor like emu birds. Very territorial, highly aggressive, and 6" long talons on each foot.
😂😂😂😂😂
Kiwi: *starts squeaking*
Me: why am I crying in the club right now
Why are you watching this in a club in the first place?
Kiwi: *Have no predetors*
Humans: "Lets fix that"
what?
Dompan humans introduced cats and other domestic animals to New Zealand that predated on kiwis and that ended up making them an endangered species

I remember reading about them when I was a kid and being amazed that they didn't have wings and were so rare and that they were named like a fruit. Still find them cool and sweet. Protect them!
'how terrible! This animal is going extinct!'
*Pandas and Kiwis give up offspring with no fight*
I mean try having a orb fight off some guys cat but often they will cover the egg and young in weeds and run off so yes and no they care
Pandas are just lazy
Imagine being so lazy that you just roll over to sleep but in the process just end up killing your young one
To be honest, I'm doing some research on my own on parenthal care, and if we consider the vertebrades, so: fish->amphibians->reptiles->birds evolutionary tree. They all have increasingly more parenthal care (which makes sense since in each step it is harder to make offspring, full water, semi-water, hard shell, warm blood). Knowing that kiwis are relatives from the ostriches branch (which was one of the first divergences from flying birds). Maybe this helps understans a little bit more the low level of parental care. But maybe I'm wrong, you would need to look at other parents and such.
Also, Pandas are mammals and don't have so much parenthal care as you are saying. But I guess it is because they are so chill from so many bambus (really hard to digest, making his metabolysm pay for it).
@@NoisqueVoaProduction This idea reminds me of the fact that kookaburras let their eldest bully their siblings to death, although ig that behaviour's hardly unique to birds

...why IS IT SO CUTE?!?!
Lina Smith its a bird with a straw beak and its fat like a dumpling and there name is kiwi
Because humans are kind of weird like that.
Lina Smith because it's cute
Because floof that’s why. They are very soft. Their feathers are almost like fur actually. Keeps them insulated and warm from the cold
YASSSS IKR
The noise they makes sounds like me trying to suck up all the juice in my Capri sun
It was really sad when kiwi let him take its eggs 😔
And the woman was like SMILING all the time! lol
its because they never evolved to defend them, as in New Zealand there are naturally no egg-preying animals.
thats why Kiwis were able to keep the eggs on the ground instead of in tree nests, and get them to be so big. in rest of the world, an egg like that would be quickly found and eaten by rodents or a snake
What could she do....the human 'predator' was much larger than her. Poor thing.
that egg is so so big i feel bad for the mother

haha funny meme comment
@digital1911 You idiot , how you dareee
4:27 omg ball of fluff!!! They are sooo cute!
Such a precious little sound when it replies to her whistle from within the egg.
I can't believe Kiwis are closel relatives of the Ostrich and Emu. HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT SMALL BE FROM A FAMILY OF GIANTS AND LAY AN EGG THAT SIZE!?
Mr. N their bootys hurt ALOT I, guessing
Hunny, I think you mean EEAG.
There is a natural phenomenon called "island dwarfing" where the constraints of island living over millions of years makes big things small. It makes sense, less nutritional variety, less shelter, competition with their own species, weather problems on islands make being small more advantageous.
Mr. N a thing called adaption
Well kiwi are birds wingless as they are lived on island without predators. But many birds wingless are under threat of new predators as cats and humans, as they did destroy Dodo bird as extinct.
But birds will lives on island without predators can evolution.

i didnt know kiwi's were THAT big
I still feel bad for the mommy and daddy kiwi since they lost their egg :(
Edit: wow that’s a lot of likes.
Violetgalaxyshimmer but if it’s for the greater good of their species then it has to happen.
Did you see them fight back?
Yes, typical - if you want to see cruelty, look at humans.

Kiwis are adorable
If one day this bird over breeds, I'd like to get one as pet. So cute. 😍
We need to at least need to get them out of endangerment before full domestication
@BIGgg CHUNGUS changa changa yes. And if you're starving we will donate to you.
Sadly every one kiwi needs large territory with possibility of digging underground communications to control :
still no, kiwi birds are territorial and defensive - they do bite. except for ones hatched in enclosed areas.
hearing kiwi population goes up and might MAYBE even get off the extinction list makes me happy, these birds are so gosh darn cute
If only they could save the dodo
If only if Dodo’s weren’t massive dorks and didn’t build their nests on well trekked walking paths and actually had wings but I guess natural selection shouldn’t apply to animals anymore.
Fucking pandas.
Dodos lived in an environment where they had no natural predators. Humans took advantage of their calm, trusting demeanor and labeled them as "dumb."
bananaboyfunny2005 real dodo bird smart made To survive along side humans, they came from an island with no natural predators, so they didn’t know to avoid people. People took advantage of that and we are the reason their dead. It’s not because they weren’t suited to their environment or that they were stupid, that people were taking advantage of them
Dodos are typically kind of birds that are native to Mauritius island. The amazing fact is that the dodo bird is closed to their cousins, *pigeons and doves* . They become extinct when Spanish Voyagers and conquerers came this island around the 15th century and the last dodo bird died of nearly the 1600s. This bird was historically believed it was dumb, hence Its name, dodo.

Very good birb boys, sniffle and snuffle all day under ground, truly the best birb

Awwwww, how that little chick responded to the woman’s calls was heart melting and SO ADORABLE!! Save the KIWI!! The most adorable bird in the world!
I like the fruit Kiwi,and the bird too....ALSO HOW DID THAT BIRD LAY THAT EGG, ITS BIGGER THAN THE BIRD. DO THEY GIVE BIRTH TO FUCKIN ADULT KIWIS
Shooketh science
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
technically yeah. mom abandons the baby once it hatches because it can care for itself
Shooketh I guess she try to keep them warm so the egg don't die
Shooketh It wasn’t even a fourth the size of the kiwi............
*dad walks in*
"Hey dad, not sure how I got here but I'm now watching a documentary about kiwi birds"
*he walks out, I can hear him laughing his ass off*
Yosho ??
Yosho why did he laugh?
"My kid have weird taste in porn..."
Ok lol hears my story dad walks out
I love kiwis so much (the birbs more than the fruit) and I'm happy to see that people help them and build their numbers back up
Kiwi’s look like if they survive for a very long time, they’ll eventually grow hands or arms in place of their wings.
Alex that would be even cuter! (Kind of)
Now I’m just picturing a kiwi with giant bodybuilder arms popping out their bodies
This kinda reminds of when I played Spore for the first time. I tried my hardest to never make any creature go extinct, even the hostile ones. Sometimes I had no choice, and knowing that I had ended a species of animals for my own benefit, even the benefit or survival, was honestly one of the most horrible feelings I've ever had in a video game. I think that every kind of animal in the world has a place in it, one that can't be replaced. My heart goes out to the work that these people are doing to save extinct species.
Horrible feelings over pretend species in a video game when real species go extinct all the time, and mostly because of us. At least some of us make some effort to help protect some species when it's convenient and compelling enough to do so... right?
Yep. And I do not advocate killing or genocide of any kind irl as well.
Over 200 species of animals go extinct every DAY... . Think about that.
Heard it before. Sources please.
Not just animals stupid just species in general mostly plants due to deforestation
Kiwi ❤️
kiwis more like fat flightless fucks

Same here lmaooooo

it's so fluffy
kiwis are underrated birbs
I love the profile picture. Such a cute axolotl!
Ahww they’re so adorable ❤️ Glad that there are people out there caring for them

They are my favorite bird, its just soo cute like wingless bird and their sound is adorable
Fuck doggos I'm into these meatballs without wings

Well they did call it a modern dinosaur.

Definitely one of the cuttest creature in the World. big hug for helping and caring them.
Real Kiwi Hours anyone?
Hell yes
2 years later
No
i feel soooo stupid i thought kiwis were extinct *facepalm*
bad spelly produckshun I did too, but I was thinking of dodos
lol naw i was just stupid...
Luckily no.
Probably thinking of the dodo
I guess you got confused with dodos
It is currently real kiwi hours...
The thing about Australia is, for every motherf***ing spider monstrosity, there's a beautiful species like this one.
Kiwis are from New Zealand, not Australia...
This poor thing wouldn't survive in Australia
*I G G*
Are they green inside?
Aneesa H.
No
They keep dying because they got no weapons to protect them
Also, why do they taste so much like fruit?
We should out source them ar15s and aks like us does for the jews
R mz they said in the video they have relatively strong legs.
This is very unfunny
This is my dream job right here!
It looks like someone mixed a bird and a hedgehog and this came out
Yes exactly. A birdy hagie
😠😠😠
the hell? I thought they went extinct ages ago. damn those false biology books of mine
Citation needed...
I think you read about the mou
american biology books? Maybe you confused them with dodos? Anywhos they probably will go extinct because of what humans are doing to the planet. Introduced invasive foreign species into new zealand and many other countries.
I'm french and we didn't learn that they were exinct
Google User edgy anti American kid
come on guys, lets protect this thing please
New Zealand is so BEAUTIFUL!
So sad how there used to be 12 million kiwi birds! But now remaining today there is only 60,000 it’s sad to see another remarkable creature go extinct I hope they can level up the numbers again because kiwis are just a beautiful animal that deserves to live
Thank you for warming my heart. 🥝
OMG IT IS SO CHUBBY. I CAN JUST CUDDLE IT.
I love kiwi birds. They're so cute. They really look like walking kiwis. ♡ I didn't know their eggs were that big, wow. Great video.
Seriously these conservationists are amazing, good job!
If anyone ever wonders why kiwis are going extinct let's all just reflect on that one time a huge guy got into a den and took it's egg without a fight...
So you'd rather give them the freedom to be massacred?
@@jeremiah3355 I can tell you 100% did not understand my point at all...
@@jeremiah3355 my point was(can't believe I actually have to explain this): look how fucking easy it is for a predator to just break in and steal the eggs. If a human got in without a fight imagine a predator.
These creatures are peaceable 😔

Leave the Kiwis alone : ^)
I want to move to New Zealand because of all of the cute flightless birds they have!
Absolutely magnificent creatures. Something straight out of a happy fever dream. They are simply amazing!
Interesting Fact:
A birds beak length is normally measured from the tip of the beak to its nostrils.
A kiwi’s nostril is down near the tip of its beak, so despite possessing a long beak, as far as zoological science is concerned, it has one of the shortest beaks in the avian kingdom.
Ah, yess the EEAG.
I LOVE KIWIS THEY ARE SO ADORABLE STAY AWAY FROM THE LITTLE FURBALLS
So CUTE. I love Kiwis
I thought these things were extinct already, how can something so adorable survive in the wild?!
"Defend themselves..." what the... how?! lol
it will sniff and snuffle even the most dangerous centepide to death.
