Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Whoever heard of a bird that can't fly? And what about one that grunts like a pig? Kiwi must surely be the dullest, dumpiest bird there is. "Real" birds with colourful feathers and beautiful songs look down on poor little Kiwi from their lofty tree-top perches. But when danger comes silently slinking, they won't be laughing about Kiwi behind their wings any more. Kiwi shows them just what he's really made of.
Based on the story of the ugly duckling.
