kiwi prefer to live in burrows they make in forested areas. they either make their burrows in the ground like rabbits, in between the roots of trees, or in hidden sheltered places such as hollow logs. kiwi line their burrows with leaves to make them more comfortable and warm. sometimes they hide the entrance to their burrows using piles of twigs. kiwi may have more than ten different burrows in their territory and will swap between them sometimes.
