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&nbsp;step 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<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns 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-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.
