The kiwi is about the size of a chicken and is full of surprises. Kiwi pairs are famously loyal and often mate for life. They share the same burrow and raise their chicks together. Even more astonishing is the size of the kiwi’s egg. A single egg can weigh about 20% of the mother’s body weight. To put that in perspective, it would be like a human giving birth to a four-year-old child. After the mother lays the egg, the father takes responsibility for most of the incubation. Because of this devoted, stay-at-home fatherhood, New Zealanders use the term “Kiwi husband” to describe a man who is family-oriented.
