Best Answer

Kiwi are small Flightless Birds which are native to New Zealand alone.

Kiwifruit are vine fruit which are native to China, meaning this is where they were first grown. Other species are native to India, Japan and even southeastern Siberia.

It is not known where the first white kiwi was hatched. In 2011, a famous white kiwi chick dubbed Manukura was hatched from Brown Kiwi parents that were brought from Little Barrier Island. Little Barrier Island has a number of white kiwi and kiwi with white markings, so although Manukura is a rarity in the captive breeding programme, she is by no means the first white kiwi hatched, nor completely unique.
