In case anyone's wondering. The Goodnight Kiwi was somehting that appeared before 24-hour television.

It would come on at midnight to signal the end of broadcasting which would start up again at about six in the morning.

The Goodnight Kiwi is very important to us New Zealander's so don't anyone dare insult it!

I suspect that this will have strong sentimental attraction/value to us NZers who remember those nights , but probably will mean nothing but a cartoon to other folk .....

For a cartoon character it is quite lovable ...! To many older gen NZ-ers it probably has some sentimental value.

As for bio ... - yup I know it is your national bird and quite rightly so - it is just funny that the bird in the cartoon is actually a nighttime active yet on telly he/she sleeps it off ... quite nicely!
