Most of the birds you see footage of are juveniles that are soon to be released. They get hatched and raised to stoat-proof size, before being released. This is why conservation efforts generally involve removing the egg from the parents’ care. It makes they survival to adulthood, and breeding age, more likely.
That's great footage, would it be OK if I used some of it in a story to illustrate the NZ Predator Free 2050 project and why these birds are so precious. Happy to credit the source if you want to provide the details, thanks

He wants to walk down the track and hunt worms. Then he realizes you're there, and you don't want to spoil your anthropocentric joy minute, so you don't move. So, I knew before the last sixty seconds that he would go "Uh oh? Outta' here", 'cause he thinks that because you're standing ground 'this strange beast' is probably a threat. You messed with his Zen thing, by not giving this creature his space. I would have backed away slowly before he got closer and knew you were there, and just left this little being alone. Moment still captured. Haven't we done enough? 🤷♂️
and here i thought cats take a long time to make up their minds. LOL that bird is adorable and bigger than i thought. i do hope they run away faster than that when they need to. such a wonderful little bird. 🪶🌹🌱
very strange fruit

@@SomeRandomLad NO WHAT
They're slightly bigger than I thought, but that just makes them even cuter :3

they remind me of being a kid and pulling my college pants up my neck and walking in forward lean XD
Wonderful work to see such a rare and lovely creature. Thank you for sharing.
I saw a kiwi in the wild last year. They are so cute and humble animals.
Isn't it even more rare to see them during the day?
yup, they're nocturnal
Yes, that might mean that the night hunt wasn't succesful
More daylight sightings on Stewart island than rest of Nz .Stewart island south of South Island
I love the bird a lot i so cute😁
I'm heading to Stewart Island in a few weeks. So hoping to see a Kiwi in the wild.
Did you see a kiwi in the wild though
I went to Stewart Island and only heard them, but our tramp got canceled because it was too muddy :(
It looks a bit like it has big feathery trousers.
You are incredibly lucky ! Thx for sharing !

It’s like it sensed the human there and had to go back the other way.
Great footage! What time of day was this?
It’s real kiwi hours.
You blocked his favorite path :(

My God dude, the bird is fine. Kiwi have no fear of predators because they don't naturally have any. They blocked the path and the bird moved away.
Actually unhinged comment. Like the OP is literally having a mental breakdown over a calm kiwi taking the long way around a group of people lmao.
Stop filming them stop following them
and here i thought cats take a long time to make up their minds. LOL
