Brown Kiwi Mating Spectacle | Wild New Zealand | BBC Earth 

him chasing her around right in front of the camera, coming in and out of frame is hilarious 😂😂

They must be protected at all costs.

this is the first time i heard a kiwi. OH MY GOSH THEY SOUND LIKE GAME SOUND EFFECTS

"he flirts by grunting and tapping her bottom..." sounds oddly familiar.

Dear BBC Earth, you've got the best filmography of animals that I ever see. The angles, the narration, the music, the story whole story telling. KUDOS!

Yay my favorite fruit is back!!!

This is aborable.

Spent 14 months in NZ, so beautiful country and so kind people!

"...often mate for life, and females are very fussy" sounds about right.

They sound like pokemon and look like tiny tailless t-rexes.

“Intimate moments” *kiwi runs across screen* *FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER KIWI*

This is basically a NZ pub on a Friday night.

Beautiful birds.

loved nz, such a wonderful country

I love these birds so much, more like small fluffy T-Rex's

awwwww no i wanted to see them living together like a married couple

It is indeed currently real kiwi hours and love is in the air 🥺🥺🥺🥝🥝💝💖💕

is the fruit named after the bird? the bird named after the fruit? or neither? 🤔

I never knew of these creatures up until just now. Thank you So Much BBC Earth :)

One of my favourite beasties; would love to sculpt one!

Oh my lord this is killing me!!!...😂🤣😂 "He FLIRTS by grunting and tapping her bottom, she takes ALOT of persuading but EVENTUALLY succumbs to it..." Sounds too familiar for my liking..... lol... or should I say, wait why is he talking about my love life??....

Is this the same series as the one by Nat Geo? I can't seem to find anything about 'Wild New Zealand' online and would love to buy it.

CORRECTION: It's primeval, not "prime evil" :) Please update update your video description.

1:51 Is it weird I thought Benny Hill should've been playing?

The description misspelled primeval. . .

How do they even mate?!

These are Real Kiwi Hours

Kiwi The fruit name of New Zealand The Avian Rat of New Zealand (a Nocturnal Scavenger)

thay are cute

"Try to imagine yourself in a New Zealand forest You get your first look at this "half foot turkey" as you enter a clearing He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex, he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not the kiwi. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from behind, from the other kiwi you didn't even know were there. Because Kiwi's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this- a one-and-a-half-inch beak, like a razor, in the middle of his face. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, oh no... He slashes at you here, [makes slashing motions below the child's ankle] or here... [below the knee] Or maybe even taps you here, right on the behind The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect."

The old 'tapping her bottom with his beak' trick. Hot tip - that ain't his beak, love.

I used to eat these as the Tasmanian Devil on SNES.

A floppy floppy popsicle, when held by the beak.

I want one as a pet

Searches up David Attenboroughs New Zealand doco.... Finds a video with out David Attenborough

What part of New Zealand was this scene filmed in?

I am making a video telling the story of the first known instance of kiwi breeding which was by W W Smith at Pukekura Park New Plymouth, and I am looking video clips of kiwi to add to the dialogue. Could I use some of this footage?

This was on t.v. Last night

💓💓💓💓💓💓

I was expecting a haka...

They sound like Pokemon

Is that Sam Neil??? I love that guy

Such an elegant way of breeding. Chasing whilst tapping its stick(beak) at the bottom..it tickles sort of!!..🤭🤭

* primeval

oh boy can't wait till this one becomes a lemme smash

*looks at the kiwi taping dat ass to get a girl* WAKE ME UP WAKE ME UP INSIDE CANT WAKE UP SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Cute.

A bird lives under soil? How do they even dig a hole, and how deep?

çok mutsuzum

I want the ability to turn into a kiwi

In the future I hope that kiwi's take over the world.

Little dinosaurs

The music sounds like Animal Crossing music.

naughty kiwi..

How many cameras and how much time does it take to capture such a footage?

I have yet to find a documentary snippet video without boring and sexist comparisons of human and animal male female relationships in the comment section. Seriously. What is wrong with you people.

my nose is just like that

THEY LIVE IN THE GROUND????

OwO kiwis burrows? I didn't know Dat.
