A kiwi is a bird that lives in New Zealand. It is flightless and is unusual in the fact that it has nostrils on the end of a rather long beak. It is brown in color and about the size of a North American crow.
Its eggs are about 1/4 the size of its body.
A kiwi fruit is about the size of a tennis ball. It is brown and somewhat fuzzy. Inside it is light green in color. It tastes similar to strawberries. The fruit originated in China.
A kiwi is a slang term for a native New Zealander.
Kiwi is also a name of a shoe polish, liquid, cream or paste, plus other shoe care products. The logo is a kiwi bird.

The kiwi is a flightless bird that is native to New Zealand. It has brown feathers all over its body and unlike most birds they have weak eyesight and a highly developed sense of smell. The kiwifruit was named after the bird when it was introduced to New Zealand from China. In China the fruit was called Chinese gooseberry. And a kiwi is an animal.

a kiwi is a fruit (delicious), and a kiwi is a bird. kiwi is also a brand of shoe polish, and I think they use the bird as a logo.
