No pics of kiwis - in the few places where you can see them it's in very dark encloseures so photographing them is next-to impossible.
The kiwi rescue place at Rainbow Springs, Rotorua is ace - you get to see the eggs, new hatchlings and they have some kiwis you can go look at. Very dark but there's no glass and you're so close you could touch them.
Lovely little things, they have kind of a bouncy walk.

Cheeky little thng! 
But I don't blame him, I love kiwifruit! I have at least one a day. 
So you have peacocks in NZ? I have to say, whenever I've stayed in certain parts of the UK, I've loved hearing their mewing (is that what you call it?). I've missed them in the US.

This is one of my favourite Kea pictures: clicky
I love his pics! I have his Wellington harbour photo as my wallpaper. 
The keas attacked the rubber on people's cars when they (the people) were off skiing, didn't they? Pretty funny. No pics of kiwis - in the few places where you can see them it's in very dark encloseures so photographing them is next-to impossible.
