Kiwi birds needlepoint patterns

A kiwi, the flightless bird of New Zealand, whole bird in profile, bent forward with its bill toward the ground.

It has a round, pear-shaped body with no visible wings and no tail, covered in shaggy feathers. It is drawn in several styles. All are four inches square on 18 mesh. The feathers are short downward strokes, so count them row by row and keep your place; some are marked beginner.
