Notes: What's This?
Used to be 2 subspecies (Okarito Brown kiwi and North Island brown kiwi), but they have been split into separate species (Rowi and Brown Kiwi- The North Island part is now redundant). There are, however, four geographically and genetically distinct forms of the Brown kiwi- Northland, Coromandel, western and eastern. AGE AT FIRST MATING: Males- 1, females-2 (lower limit- often start later)
