Conflicting sources

The population of this bird is shown to be about 35,000 on the bird species fact sheet, but only 25,000 on the Save the Kiwi website.--Jackoutofthebox 12:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The birdlife.org (I think thats what it was) had a 1996 citation I believe. Save the Kiwi was closer to 2007 #'s the last I checked. Teak the Kiwi 23:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo issues

The bird is in an odd position and it almost looks stuffed (!)This species is intensively managed and well photographed by DOC in particular - I think a better image can be found, will shoot out some e-mail's to various people to this end.. Kotare (talk)

External link to YouTube video

I added an external link to a YouTube video I myself shot and posted of a North Island Brown Kiwi feeding in the wild in daylight, a very rare video indeed! There is no copyright issue. I would think that people coming to this article would want to get to such a video easily. It was removed by an automated Wikipedia YouTube link removal bot, but since there is not, per Wikipedia, a blanket ban on YouTube links, I undid the removal. If I've violated policy (which I've read and tried to understand) then my apologies and some greater power than me, human or machine, may remove it again and I'll let that stand.
