Episode Details

Kiwi birds are having a daytime brawl — and it’s going viral. Footage from Ulva Island captures two adult kiwis wrestling midday, using legs and claws in a full-on tussle. Local tour skipper Rakiura Herzhoff says this isn’t shocking to islanders — daylight kiwi sightings are common there due to the short nights in summer. Experts say this behavior signals a healthy population, as active, interacting birds mean enough numbers to thrive. It’s not even their first daylight showdown — last year, another pair fought in someone’s backyard. These feathered fighters are out doing their thing, even when we least expect them.
