Kiwis: Saving The World's Cutest Endangered Birds

Saving the Kiwis: One man's effort to save the national bird of New Zealand

August 2003

The Kiwi bird could soon become extinct on mainland New Zealand. But one man is determined to prevent this from happening.

Farmer David Wallace was horrified to learn that Kiwi chicks hatched in the wild only have a 5% chance of survival. He's on a mission to save his national bird and has built a 16 acre bird reserve on his land to protect them. Now he wants to turn the nearby mountain into a Kiwi sanctuary.
