Kiwi and Chicks

$95.00

The national icon, we have five species of this unusual flightless bird. They are only birds in the world with nostrils at the end of its bill. They use the bill to detect earthworms and grubs beneath the surface. Most species have a clutch size of one, but the North Island brown kiwi and the little spotted kiwi can have a clutch size of two. Your Bang’n kiwi family comes with one adult and two chicks.

Your Bang’n kiwi family is designed and made in New Zealand. Constructed from weathering steel, your kiwi family will weather naturally, and settle into your landscape over time – forming a beautiful rusty patina.

Dimensions:

Adult –

  • Height (excluding stake) – 295mm
  • Beak to Bum – 420mm

Chicks –

  • Height (excluding stake) – 155mm
  • Beak to Bum – 115mm

Description

New Zealand has been a geographically isolated island nation for many millions of years. This isolation, and a lack of native land mammals, lead to the evolution of the unique array of bird species that call New Zealand home. Many of these species have suffered from the introduction of mammalian predators, such as stoats, rats, possums and cats.

Your purchase of a Bang’n bird helps to ensure that the native species of New Zealand stay in the forefront of our minds, in all regions of New Zealand. As you enjoy your Bang’n bird settling into your landscape, spend some time reflecting on what you might be able to do to ensure that our surviving species can flourish as they once did.
