Kiwi Bird Guide for 99 Nights Explorers
Locating the Kiwi
These flightless birds exclusively inhabit remote areas after achieving a level 6 campfire upgrade. Watch for hollowed tree trunks along map boundaries, which mark their nesting sites. Similar to rabbits, Kīwis exhibit no aggressive behavior.
Taming Procedure

Acquiring a Taming Flute is essential for this process. Obtain one through:
- Deserted Sanctuary: Contain multiple flutes at cage structures
- Fur Merchant: Random chance of availability
- Beastmaster/Zookeeper class start: Included in initial inventory
With flute and berries in hand:
- Locate a Kiwi near map peripheries
- Complete the mini-game using the flute
- Present a berry to secure this companion
Transportation Tip: Carry untamed Kīwis in your pouch for safer relocation to camp.
