What is the offical bird of New Zealand?

Question

Clue : It is not the Kiwi !

There is no official bird for New Zealand; however the brown kiwi is accepted by most New Zealanders as representative of their country.

Answer 3

Yes it is the Kiwi:

The kiwi is New Zealand's national icon and part of our image world-wide. New Zealanders have been "Kiwis" since the days of the First World War. It's a nickname bestowed by fellow Australian soldiers, and it stuck. Today our identity as Kiwis is based around our national bird.
