узнаваемый –новозеландская нелетающая птичка киви.

Киви – некрупные птицы, размером с небольшую курицу. Вес киви составляет от 1, 4 до 4 кг.
Крылья у киви не развиты. Соответственно летать киви не могут, а могут лишь бегать.
Тело у киви имеет грушевидную форму. Голова маленькая, а шея короткая. Хвост у киви отсутствует, а перья напоминают густую шерсть. Именно за сходство с этой птицей получил свое название и фрукт киви, который был выведен в Новой Зеландии. Настоящие правильные киви растут как виноград, и их "растения" называется лоза!
Кстати, шутливое прозвище новозеландцев– тоже “киви” потому, что подобно маленьким бескрылым птичкам они много спят и не утруждают себя делами.

hill located in the beautiful country of New Zealand. It is also one of the longest words in the English language.
It is a Māori. The word can be exactly translated as, 'The hill where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed up, and swallowed mountains, to travel the land, known as the Land Eater, played his flute to his loved one.' Tamatea was an explorer and a warrior who is believed to have explored this land and the Ōtamatea river. According to a legend, he explored two harbors called Hokianga and Kaipara, and later sailed down the east coast where his boat wrecked. It is also believed that Tamatea's brother was killed in one of the tribal battles, and hence, Tamatea would play a lament on his flute every morning at the hilltop in the memory of his brother. Hence, he acquired this gigantic name.
