Kiwi

A kiwi, for those who don't know, is several things:

It is a large flightless bird native to New Zealand. They walk around on two legs and eat insects and things like that with their long beaks. The one I've seen at the zoo was about the size of a serious rabbit in terms of its body, but with long legs. There used to be flightless birds in New Zealand called Moa bigger than ostriches but they got killed off by humans because they were such tempting targets.


















It is a fruit (here always called kiwi fruit rather than just kiwi to avoid confusion).












It is a person from New Zealand. The one below is named Danielle.















It is an adjective describing anything from New Zealand. (e.g. kiwi culture, kiwi exports)
