Kiwi birds have several odd characteristics that make them different from other birds.
Their wings are vestigial, meaning they are very small, and you can't even see them under the kiwi's hairlike feathers. Its nostrils are at the tip of the beak instead of near the head.
You can compare the kiwi to other flightless birds when you learn how to draw an ostrich, the largest bird on Earth.
