The Kiwi is the only bird with nostrils at the tip of its beak. With it's long beak, the kiwi digs up and chows on worms. A kiwi is almost blind; it can see about six feet at night and around two feet during the day, so when it comes to hunting the kiwi is not well equipped. It used the nostrils on its beak to find its food and then plucks up the worms with its beak. Although the Kiwi is roughly the same size as a chicken, it lays an egg which is 10 times larger than a hen's. It also has wings but cannot fly.
