class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>What\u2019s cute, small, and brown, and makes an extraordinarily strange noise when looking for a mate? It\u2019s the brown kiwi, a flightless bird native to New Zealand! The unique brown kiwi have tiny wings, no tail, and they\u2019re nocturnal. Unfortunately, these special birds make a quick meal for non-native predators like cats, dogs, and stoats, so their numbers have been declining in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where the good people at \u014ctorohanga Kiwi House\u00a0step in to save the day. Thanks to the hard work of kind keepers, the brown kiwi that call \u014ctorohanga Kiwi House home get to live in a predator-free sanctuary. They\u2019re safe to live their lives and raise families of their own. In fact, Kiwi House has released over 500 birds back into the wild \u2013 amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>We want to give a huge Earth Rangers high five to the incredible people caring for the brown kiwi birds at \u014ctorohanga Kiwi House!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone is screaming in the dark\u2026 and it\u2019s LOUD.
