Kiwi experts are keen to dispel myths surrounding the kiwi — particularly that they are half-blind and bumbling.

Here are a few common ones:

Myth: "Kiwi fight with their beaks."
    To use their beaks to fight would be like head-butting someone with your nose.
    At the end of the beak are the kiwi's external nostrils. Finely tuned and capable of detecting a few parts per million of scent, the beak, when probing the ground, can detect worms and other food.

their beak is used to eat worms
ha!
what kind of loser national bird eats worms. it can't dive from hundreds of feet and catch a mouse or something. it just pecks at the ground and eats worms.
