Strange Bird - Kiwi

The kiwi is the only bird with nostrils at the tip of its beak. Whereas other birds hunt by sight or hearing, the national bird of New Zealand uses its beaky nostrils to sniff out food at night. Although the kiwi is roughly the same size as a chicken, it lays an egg which is ten times larger than a hen's. The egg takes three weeks to be laid.
