Big Kiwi Computing - What is a Kiwi?




	This is Apteryx australis		This is Actinidia deliciosa
	This is a ratite; it is a flightless bird		This is a berry; it is the fruit of a vine
	All species of this bird are in danger of extinction		There are large plantations of this vine all over the world
	These birds are endemic to the islands of New Zealand		These fruit originally came from the Chinese mainland
	This bird was given its name by the pre-European Maori inhabitants of New Zealand. It was named for the sound of its call		This fruit was given its name by the New Zealand Kiwifruit Marketing Board. It is named after the bird called the kiwi
	There are serious fines for eating these birds		You may eat as many of these fruit as you can stand
	It's very simple, really. [BACK]
