Haast tokoeka

The Haast tokoeka or Haast kiwi (Apteryx australis Haast) is a subspecies of southern brown kiwi.  It is one of the rarest kiwi in New Zealand. This bird does not fly.  It runs on the ground.

Appearance

This bird has red-brown feathers that look like fur.  It has small wings and does not fly.  It has no tail.  It has a long bill, or beak.

Habitat and food
The Haast tokoeka lives high in the mountains on the west side of New Zealand's South Island.  About half of the place where these kiwi live is in the Haast Kiwi Sanctuary.  This place is protected by the government of New Zealand. 

The adult Haast tokoeka live in pairs.  They will fight other adult kiwis over good places to look for food.  They mostly hide during the day and look for food at night.

Status

Not everyone agrees that the Haast tokoeka is a separate subspecies from the Fiordland tokoeka.

Threats
There are about 400 Haast tokoeka alive. Like other kiwis, the Haast tokoeka are threatened by habitat loss from when human beings change the places they live into farms and other things.  They are also threatened by invasive species, which are animals brought to New Zealand by humans, for example, dogs, cats, and stoats.

In the Haast Kiwi Sanctuary, human beings put traps to catch stoats.  Stoats are animals like weasels.  They were brought to New Zealand by humans, and they eat kiwi chicks.

Breeding

The kiwis make a nest in a hollow log, crack in a rock or space dug out of the ground.  The egg is large and pale green in color.  The male and female kiwi both sit on the egg.

Okarito brown kiwi

The Okarito brown kiwi (Apteryx rowi), Okarito kiwi or Rowi kiwi is a type of kiwi bird. It was discovered in 2003. It is found in a protected area of the Okarito forest on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. There are only about 600 Okarito brown kiwis.

Appearance
This bird has gray-brown feathers.  It sometimes has white feathers on its face.  Its legs, feet and claws are pale.  It has small wings and does not fly.  It has no tail.  It has a long pale bill, or beak.

Habitat
Before humans came to New Zealand, there were Okarito brown kiwi all through the northern part of the South Island and the southern part of the North Island.  However, in 1990, there were 160 rowi left in all New Zealand.  In 2012, there were about 375.

These rowi live in Okarito, where they build nests and lay eggs themselves.  Human beings sometimes take eggs and chicks to islands where they can grow up without stoats or other mammal predators eating them, but the kiwi do not go to those islands on their own.  This is part of Operation Nest Egg.

Breeding
The kiwis make a nest in a hollow log, crack in a rock or space dug out of the ground.  The male and female kiwi both sit on the egg.  The female kiwi lays only one egg at a time, but sometimes she will lay one new egg just before the old one hatches.
