    I know a lone male kiwi really old for Kiwis came to my city(Pittsburgh) at the National Aviary and exhibited him for like a year. Then a few months ago shipped him up to Toledo Zoo cause the National Aviary just didnt have the set up for him.

    I asked a keeper about that when I visited the new Outback exhibit and was told that they are still at the zoo behind the scenes. There have been no official plans released regarding a new kiwi exhibit to my knowledge.
