In March and April, keepers at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, celebrated the arrival of two male kiwi chicks! Get to know them in this update from the bird team: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/centerfor....

The chick featured in this video hatched March 13, 2022. In order to obtain a weight on the chick, keepers place him in a shallow container. A keeper scratches the kiwi's head to encourage him to briefly sit still while the animal care team obtains an accurate weight.
