The Animal of the month 
The Kiwi bird
The Kiwi bird is a very interesting bird. This bird can’t fly, and it looks pretty depressed. Do not try and help the Kiwi because it is a very dangerous and aggressive bird that is known to bite. The Kiwi always tries to fly, but it never works. They make painstaking efforts, but it only disappoints them. The Kiwi is a nocturnal bird, but shields himself from the nightlife. The Kiwi is a endangered species with only 350 birds left in the wild. They are very hard to see because they blend in with their surroundings.The Kiwi is easy prey for big birds like falcons and raptors. The Kiwi primarily lives in the green forest of New Zealand.
