Hey - thought of you this morning reading the Washington Post. There was a picure of a REAL kiwi - a brown kiwi born in the Wash. Zoo. Cute. Big schnoz.

Related?

Sure am. LOL I don't have a big schnoz though. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It's still beyond me why a whole nation has called themselves kiwis after a little brown bird that can't fly.

They're very cute though. Becoming endangered in the wild because of stoats and feral cats, which is a shame.

Be thankful - could have been called an ostrich!

What's a stoat?

It's a horrible little creature like a ferret or a mink. Long and slinky and will eat anything.

I'm sure she is. I tried to find a web pic of the bird kiwi to post, but couldn't find the one in the paper. Here's the zoo web page with pics - safe to say no where NEAR as cute as the kiwi chick nor Jen!
Brown Kiwi

Helps to explain why the eggs look so odd > fuzzy and brown on the outside, green on the inside. But tasty!

Interesting fact about kiwi eggs. They're almost as big as the bird itself.

Yeah, fuzzy and brown on the outside. Like I haven't heard that before. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

See you guys later. I'm going out for the day. Going to visit my sister with my mother. She lives on an island (well, so do I but she lives on a small island) and it takes quite a long ferry trip to get there. Worth it though - it's very pretty.
