For the Golden Goose thread.... He'll be back on MartialTalk soon enough.

Let's return to the Kiwi Bird. I think it's really cute! I wouldn't mind having one as a pet... but I understand they have quite a "personality".

I think kiwi birds are kewl. They can't fly, but run and kick and root around with their long, sensitive beaks and probe for insects that they feel and then grab and munch. The females are not to be envied - they have one offspring (lay one egg) at a time - the almost-full-grown egg takes up a huge part of her body.


The kiwi (bird) is unusual in at least two respects. First, it is the only bird in the world that has its nostrils at the end of its beak. Second, the female kiwi has the largest egg, in proportion to its body size, of any bird in the world (except possibly for the hummingbird). Kiwi are about the same size as chickens, but their eggs are almost as big as those of ostriches!

I have an some Australian friends they don't have much to say about the Kiwi's except that their going to kill'em in Rugby. Ha Ha I won't use the exact verbage I heard cause it's not polite to use in front of the ladies.
