Which Bird Is Wingless and Where Does It Live? Discover the Kiwi.

The Apteryx, or, as the natives call it, the Kiwi, is a peculiar bird with hardly any trace of wings. Found in New Zealand, where it was formerly very common, though now it is seen more rarely, it has a very long beak with nostrils at its tip and is about the size of a domestic fowl. The Kiwi’s long beak is used for pulling worms, its chief food, from the earth. The Kiwi is most often to be seen at night, and when attacked, it will fight very fiercely, using as weapons the sharp claws on its feet.
