The Kiwi bird is virtually extinct. There are more models of Kiwis than there are birds. It is a nocturnal woodland creature, decimated by the wholesale conversion of forests into dairy farms and sheep grazing lands. But the disappearance of kiwis is blamed on cats. Massive cat trapping and killing programs havent affected kiwi numbers, but has resulted in a rabbit population explosion.
