Whoa i never realized they were that big
Yeah I thought they were the size of a chicken.
I thought they are the size of a kiwi!
lol same hence the name
They are the size of a large chicken from what I can find.
Different chicken breeds have WILDLY dissimilar sizes. Like 2lbs to 12lbs and some chicken breeds can get to 3ft tall.
Here is a site I found that seems to exclusively talk about chickens with a list of different large chicken breeds.
Me either.
Nyooooom
I don’t know why, but this comment absolutely portrays the single most apt description of that second picture haha.
Why is the word bird required? A kiwi is a kiwi, it’s literally the name of the animal. You don’t say pigeon bird?
Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?
and theres kiwi berries too.
Lyrebird.
Also, there are non bird kiwis
And now I’m reminded that I will forever be teased by the New Zealand side of my family… 😅
I found a photo showing how large Kiwi can get, before we went to see them at the Te Puia Geothermal Park, and I was SHOCKED.
“Shel, how big did you think they were?”
I put my hands up🫸🫷to the size of a robin
“I don’t know… bird sized”
“Bird sized? … you’re gonna lose your shit when you see a ostrich”
😐😑😐🙄😮💨
Americans want kiwis as pets. Trump would like the eggs. Give us kiwis please!
