They also have one of the largest egg size to mother size ratios of any species of bird.

They would make a great replacement for chickens

That must feel like such a relief when it’s out…

They say it's the equivalent of a human giving birth to a 10yo. No wonder the mother's bugger off after laying and let the father deal with it

They gave all they had. And then some, Jesus.

Most animals have better births than humans but I, a human woman, would not want to be a kiwi bird (avian variety, IDK what words mean over there).

I think if your organs are all tarred up, you have a problem
