I don't know what I expected a Kiwi to sound like, but that wasn't it.

I like how it leaves in a swiggity swooty fashion.

How have I never noticed that these goobers don't have arms or nothin. I can't imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.
This is God's creature right here.
I had to rewatch the video to make sure I got an exact image of what swiggity swooty means
Truly a doofus of a bird.

I thought kiwis spoke English.

They do have a funny way of speaking it.
They say "LILILILILILI!" Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.
They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.
- And their short i's to a short e
My favorite author is a kiwi who writes In English and teaches it, but for all I know she sounds like the video

Ah, so the kiwi has a bird body but still uses its dinosaur voice.

All birds use their dinosaur voices.

Nightmare Potato.

There is currently chaos in my house. I played this on my phone without headphones and my dogs have absolutely lost their shit. The Miniature Pinscher, being a Miniature Pinscher, was barking and spinning and occasionally attacking his spaniel brother who just has this "WTF BRO" face of horror on. Mayhem.

PS: He's calmed down...after a close to ten minute freak out.

Play it again!
- As it goes with Min-Pins, he couldn't give less of a shit the second time around. He's over it.
Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a 'wtf was that!' expression.
My cat just had a very similar response =)

This is a dinosaur

Yes.

Sounds just like the fruit.

I can hear the dinosaur in it…

Husband: I want one of those! /s
Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

When it ran away was pretty great.

Worst alarm clock ever.

And that's what you really need to wake up

This is the sound of an animal with no natural predators.

Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

I eat kiwi all the time and I ain't never heard them make a sound.

They're obviously dead before they put the them out at the grocery store. I bet you don't see yours running around outside either.

slowed down would sound like the stereotypical t-rex

So melodious.

I suddenly understand the inspiration behind shows like Lost being made:-).

I'm still bitter about the ending.
- I kept waiting for the show to be finished being made. I didn't want like a Game of Thrones scenario (even though that one hadn't happened yet:-).
  Finally I relented and watched season 1. It was so good! Then I heard about the show's ending and... never bothered to watch the rest.:-(
  I guess it saved me a bunch of time, so there's that. 🙄
