    Wish we had those running around in America. :( I’m always a little taken aback by how big they are!

        That is a Kiwi. That’s where the word comes from, it’s the Maori name for that bird. The fruit was named after it and is strictly called “kiwi fruit” in NZ.

          at least the person in the photo isn’t also a kiwi
          that would be confusing
