Kiwi restoration project is going quite well. In 2018 we were hoping for conservation efforts to get a 2% (2600) increase in pop and they managed 7000 instead.
The strat is to raise them in a safe place until they’re big and then let them go. The teenagers and adults have less trouble surviving its the babies who are super vulnerable.
Thank god they include the “bird” and “fruit”, else i would’ve thought they’re talking about human sized human.
I have a prior source to refute that: https://www.arjen.eu/2011/09/how-to-prepare-a-kiwi/ /s
i mean you will always see them photoshopped to look like a sliced kiwi fruit
Also:
They also have one of the largest egg size to mother size ratios of any species of bird.
That must feel like such a relief when it’s out…
They say it’s the equivalent of a human giving birth to a 10yo. No wonder the mother’s bugger off after laying and let the father deal with it
wait so where are their organs then
they get compressed.
Packed very tightly. I believe the mother can’t eat for the last few days of carrying the egg.
If you zoom in there is a little bit of space left
full grown Kiwi
I can hear this picture.
And it can hear you.
The cacophony of metal clanging, nades blowing and panicked dashing between levels.
Gibbed way too many times by that fucker.
Well I’ll be damned. TIL
Walks like chocobo, yell like tiamat
Man I love SponsorBlock. Saved me 12 seconds, nearly half the video.
There’s no sponsor in that video.
… oh god, Youtube’s fucking up the video itself to fuck with adblockers.
SponsorBlock is useful for more than just skipping sponsored segments, you know. The name is misleading; It’s way more powerful than that. You can also add “Skip intro” and “skip credits” buttons to videos, just like it’s Netflix. Or skip filler and go straight to the meat of the video, like I just did.
Even if you don’t mind sponsored segments, you should still give it a try. Its got a lot of useful features. Just disable the sponsor skipping feature and enable the other stuff if you want.
Interesting how it enters the stage as a creature from hell and then it becomes softer and they walk off all cute.
Their call is like the lament of a million souls…
Also, they tear up the forest floor like mad. It looks like the most destructive chicken has come through after a kiwi has been there.
I’ve seen this before and it’s still surprises me. I didn’t think they were as small as kiwi fruit. Maybe about the size of a softball but not as round.
Someone grow a kiwi fruit that is as big as a kiwi bird, stat!
