Artist's Comments

This image was taken in Whangarei native birds rescue center [link]

the Kiwi's were close to getting extinct and thanks to several centers in New Zealand, this remarkable bird is stablizing in quantity.
Heather, the care taker in this bird hospital is holding a baby Kiwi that got lost in the previous storm and almost died of the flood.

The Kiwi is a very unique bird, it as excellent hearing and a large ear, its feathers are soft like fur, its nostrils are located at the end of its beek and whispers helps it sens in the dense of the night, and many more extra ordinary features.

in last August edition of "Masa Acher" nature magazine in Israel, I wrote an article the the amazing efforts of New Zealand to recover its native birds back from almost extinction.
Keep up the good work, Kiwis ;)

Aww what a cutie.

It's a shame that so many animals are endangered today.

I really hope that the amount of kiwis will keep increasing and recover!
They are so cool, seem very friendly.
Do they really have whiskers around their beak?
I think I've read it somewhere.. :)

בין הציפורים היותר מיוחדות שקיימות בעולם שלנו וממש חבל שהיא נעלמת לאט לאט
אתה ממש בר מזל שיצא לך לראות את החיה הזאת ולתעד אותה
התמונה ממש ממש מיוחדת
נותנת מראה שונה לגישה שקיימת קיום שהאדם רק הורס ומחריב הכל
בתמונה בעצם מוצגת אהבה ושמירה.. האיש מחבק את הקיוי המסכן שנראה ממש לא מאושר

שוב רועי,
תמונה נהדרת עם סיפור מעניין

אני פשוט חולה על ציפורי קיווי!
גם אני הייתי בניו זילנד אז ראיתי איזה שתיים,
אבל מוזר שהם ככה באור, בדרך כלל שמים אותם בחדר חשוך.
תמונה יפה :)
Aw, what a cute creature. I'm not sure if the things on the side of its head are ears or not, but whatever they are, they look very sweet. :) I'm glad the threat of extinction is diminishing for kiwis.

Fading bells -
now musky blossoms
peal in dusk.

Literary babblings.
What an adorable little thing, I'd love to help rescue them - or any endangered animal.

If I point the exhaust pipe towards the ground, figured I'll shoot towards the sky. And if the natural laws of physics works like that, I figure, "Why can't I?"
