🔍 Part 1: Keyword Scanning Practice

Read this text about New Zealand wildlife:

The kiwi bird is New Zealand's national symbol. These flightless birds live in forests and are nocturnal, which means they are active at night. Kiwis have long beaks that help them find insects and worms in the soil. Unfortunately, there are only about 68,000 kiwis left in the wild. Conservation groups work hard to protect these special birds in sanctuaries across the country.
