Help Us Name the Kiwi Chick
We need your help to name the male North Island brown kiwi that hatched at the National Zoo on March 7. This is just the third kiwi to hatch at the Zoo. The first kiwi to hatch outside of New Zealand hatched here in 1975.
In honor of the kiwi’s native New Zealand homeland, we offer three Maori names from which you can choose. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. Keepers here selected names that reflect the chick’s lively demeanor.
Vote by April 22. We’ll announce the winner soon after.
