Which bird is a symbol of New Zealand?

It is also a fruit.

millwallmarty, stop acknowledging him/her. Ignoring stupidity is the best way to end it

The Maoris are about as "indigenous" as the Europeans. They arrived by sea to settle in a land believed to be by unsettled by human beings. This was around 500 years earlier than the Europeans. The Europeans arrived by sea to settle in mostly empty areas.

Jimbo*21, Yeah and I like the kiwi fruit!!

The kiwi bird would have been in NZ before kiwi fruit because the fruit came from China when the Chinese gold miners came here.

If u look at it closely kinda looks like giant fruit kiwi with bill and legs😂 So question is what got name first: kiwi bird or kiwi fruit🤔

Little Saint, Except that they look the same.

Little Saint, They called everything Kiwis 🥝

Jimbo*21, wow thanks

Proud to be a kiwi - and we no longer call the fruit a Chinese gooseberry! Guess it wasn't pc!!

I love to eat kiwis(the fruit)

The Kakapo is as well, and question
