Reading: Kiwi and their forest habitat

Read the passage, then answer the questions. At dusk, a kiwi may leave its daytime shelter beneath tangled roots and search the forest floor. Its sensitive nostrils, set near the tip of its long bill, help it locate insects, worms and other small food hidden in soil and leaf litter. During daylight, thick plants and hollow logs provide places to rest out of sight. Forest cover also helps kiwi move between feeding and nesting areas. When native bush is cleared or broken into small patches, kiwi lose food sources and safe places to shelter. Protecting connected areas of healthy forest can help these unusual birds survive.
