Testing of the procedure was performed using four types of fruits: nectarine, orange, apple and kiwi.
Even one day of submergence would be too long for the ancestors of the bellbird, kiwi, southern beech and tuatara.
We were able to interview 12 of the 14 organic almond handlers, 8 of the 10 organic kiwi handlers and 10 of the 15 handlers of organic winter pears.
If we had applied the current procedures to the authorisation of the potato or the kiwi fruit we might not have them on our table today.
The egg is very large, as it weighs 20% of the female's weight (as in all kiwis).
Kiwis and shorebirds with long bills probe for invertebrates; shorebirds' varied bill lengths and feeding methods result in the separation of ecological niches.
Unlike most birds, female great spotted kiwis have two ovaries.
The ratites are large flightless birds, and include ostriches, rheas, cassowaries, kiwis and emus.
