Kiwi do not live in a nest, but they use a nest for breeding.

The kiwi digs a burrow or takes over a pre-existing burrow, often in slopes. The nest is then lined with grass, leaves and moss. The kiwi may camouflage the entrance by dragging leaves and sticks across, once they are inside.

Both.

Kiwi live in population groups known as colonies. However, they do not socialise with other kiwi, and live in pairs with their own distinct territory, separate from that of other kiwi.

Kiwi are monogamous birds that can stay together for up to thirty years. However, the pairs do not live with other kiwi.

Although there are kiwi populations in areas, pairs of kiwi do not live with others, but establish a clear territory of their own. After mating, the female lays an egg and the male incubates it, but the young chicks leave their parents' territory when they are 4-6 weeks old (except in the case of the Southern tokoeka, which may stay with its parents for 4-5 years).

Kiwi do not live in flocks. Whilst they live in populations that are sometimes known as colonies, they do not socialise with other kiwi, tending to stay in pairs.
