New Zealand’s Newest Attraction: Piwi the Kiwi

Piwi the kiwi has become the star attraction of New Zealand. Watch this adorable kiwi gain back its strength on the treadmill.

New Zealand is renowned for its stunning landscapes, from dramatic mountains to serene lakes, as well as its connections to film and unique slang. But recently, a little bird named Piwi has given the country another reason to be celebrated.

Piwi, a kiwi, suffered two separate accidents that broke his leg. Fortunately, he was rescued by wildlife experts and taken to a sanctuary for rehabilitation. To help him recover, veterinarians came up with a creative solution: putting him on a tiny treadmill. Initially resistant, Piwi eventually warmed up to the routine. The exercise has significantly strengthened his leg muscles, and the vets believe he may soon be strong enough to return to the wild.

We hope Piwi makes a full recovery and gets to enjoy his freedom once more.
