Introduction to the wingless bird, what does the wingless bird mean

The wingless bird, also known as the sandpiper, is the most primitive of the sandpiper birds. It is shaped like a pear, covered with fluffy and fine feathers, and has neither wings nor tail feathers, so it cannot fly. However, it has stubby legs, is a good runner, can reach speeds of up to 10 miles per hour, and can kick another bird of its kind five feet away.

The wingless bird's beak is pointed and slender, and when resting, it can be used as a third leg to maintain balance, like a tripod.

There are only three species of wingless birds in the world, all of which are found in New Zealand in Oceania, and are called brown kiwi, great spotted kiwi and lesser spotted kiwi. How did the kiwi get its strange name? This is because their chirps are so high-pitched that they sound like "kiwi" (ji-vi-), which is why they are called kiwi by the local indigenous Maori people, and some books also translate them as siwi or kewi.

Wingless birds are relatively primitive birds in the process of biological evolution. The biggest difference from most other birds is that they can't fly and can only walk on the ground. Their legs are located at the back of the body, short and stout, with a powerful tarsoplantar part that also has hexagonal scales on the anterior and posterior margins of the tarsal plant.

The feet have 4 small, flat toes, 3 toes forward, 1 toe backward, and sharp claws on the toes, which are convenient for digging in the land and looking for food.

An inspirational short film, a wingless bird that pays for its life to fly, has made tens of millions of people cry.

The wingless bird is also called a sandpiper (yu tuo), a kiwi. The wings and tail are degenerate, the beak is long, the body is long, the body has gray slender hairs, the legs are short and thick, and they run very fast. Diurnal and nocturnal, eating insects in the soil. Native to New Zealand, it is a rare bird in the world.

Named after the call "kivi", the wingless bird is regarded by New Zealanders as a symbol of their nation and has been designated as the national bird. They often proudly say, "I'm a kiwi", which means "I'm a New Zealander".

The wingless bird is a New Zealand specialty, and its evolution into this form is related to the history of this part of the country. Thousands of years ago, New Zealand was isolated from Asia and other continents because it was isolated by the ocean. As a result, they were not infested by carnivores from Asia, and the birds that lived there did not have to hide from predators and could enjoy the abundant food on the ground, so their ability to fly gradually deteriorated.

This isolated island was once a paradise for birds, with many unique species of birds thriving, especially wingless birds not found on other continents. As a result, New Zealand has the title of home to wingless birds. But to this day, the kiwi is the only wingless bird that has survived.

A bird with vestigial wings and tail, a long beak, a long body, a body with gray slender fluff, short, thick legs, and a fast runner. Diurnal and nocturnal, eating insects in the soil. Native to New Zealand, it is a rare bird in the world.

Also known as a sandpiper (yu tuo), commonly known as kiwi.

The size of the kiwi is about the same as our common big rooster, and the brown kiwi and the large spotted kiwi are slightly larger, up to about 35 centimeters, and weigh more than 2000 grams; The lesser spotted kiwi is smaller, only about 25 centimeters in size, and weighs about 1,200 grams. The three kiwi birds are similar in appearance and look like large, hairy balls. It does not have the stiff feathers that ordinary birds have, but has fluffy willow leaf-like feathers, which are soft and beautiful, and as fine as silk.

On the feathers at the back end of the body, there is no feather trunk that ordinary bird feathers have, only some weak feathers, so it is like animal hair. Their coat color is predominantly yellowish-brown with dark gray and pale transverse spots, and their belly is lighter with black-brown stripes. Their feathers have a good warmth retention effect.

Isn't it a New Zealand kiwi?

The genre of the comic or **...

In New Zealand, it is loved by the locals.

The scientific name of wingless bird is kiwi, because the call is very high-pitched and sounds like "kiwi, kiwi", so it is also called kiwi.

As its name suggests, wingless birds have almost no wings, because their wings are highly degraded due to long-term non-use, and they are almost invisible in appearance, and their feathers are similar to those of ordinary birds, with fluffy and fine feathers like animal fur and a small body like a pear.

But even if they lose the ability to fly, their activities are relatively free, they have short and thick legs, they can run up to about 16 kilometers per hour, another more distinctive place is their long mouth, their mouth and body can almost be said to be extremely discordant, too long mouth is their feeding channel is also their "secret**".

Wingless birds are not always wingless, but have been degraded, which is "petted" by New Zealand's unique geographical location. New Zealand is located in the corner of the South Pacific Ocean, more than 1,500 kilometers away from the nearest continent, Australia.

Isolated from the outside world, there are almost no native mammals on the island except for bats, so it is quite easy for the wingless bird to find food, and the island has no natural predators and competitors of its own, so the wingless bird slowly gives up the ability to fly, and over time the wings degenerate, until now their wings are almost invisible.

The wingless bird is similar in size to a chicken, but its eggs are quite small. Female kiwi birds generally weigh about 4 pounds, but the eggs they lay are about the same as ostrich eggs, so this "giant egg" is really a lot of pressure before the female kiwi completes production, and the huge eggs almost occupy the small body of the kiwi, and even oppress their stomachs so that they can hardly eat anything in the first few days of production.

Birds without scales, birds without teeth, birds without fins, birds without fins, and with sharp turns, it should be birds without. Fish have no legs, crabs have no wings, birds have no brain teasers, birds have no scales, birds have no teeth, birds have no fins, and birds have no.
