savethekiwi.org.nz NZ's special, leather like skin.. fondness for sheep? savethekiwi.org.nz You people split from Gondwonaland suspiciosly early, what are you hiding? savethekiwi.org.nz Myth 2: Kiwi are cute, gentle creatures Kiwi are super-strong, and often extremely bad-tempered. The adults can look after themselves using their razor-sharp claws as weapons. A couple of slashes can quickly draw blood, as conservation workers often find when they put their hands down kiwi burrows. Because they are so aggressive, Department of Conservation staff can attract them simply by imitating their call. Incensed that another kiwi is on their turf, the response can be instant and dramatic. John McLennan (Landcare Research) describes what happens when he imitates the call: "It's amazing to hear them coming to kick the intruder out. They sound like a deer charging, almost exploding, through the dark. Standing there, it's quite intimidating - even for us. I guess it's part of the threat display."
