Kiwi is the National bird of New Zealand. Kiwi is a flightless, nocturnal bird with hair like wings. It has longbeak to burrow the land and also has long claws. When they get provoked by enemies they give a serious kick to enemies. Eggs of kiwi are one of the largest eggs in proportion to body size.

The cassowary is the most dangerous bird found in Asia and Australia lies in a similar class of emu. The cassowary is 2m tall and weighs greater than an emu. The leg of cassowaries is muscular with three claw-tipped toes used to kick enemies when feeling danger. The cassowary is also a killer bird, if anyone is found nearby they kill them abruptly.
Ostrich is the largest and heaviest flightless bird found in Africa. Ostrich feathers are loose, smooth, and soft which is different from other birds. Ostrich lives in the group for their protection, it also delivers powerful kicks when someone tries to break and steals his eggs. It is said that when an ostrich feels danger it buries its head inside sand but that was only a myth, in reality when ostrich feels danger they flop on with their head and next flat on the ground. Because of a similar color of head and sand, it looks like an ostrich burying his head inside sand.

So, the correct answer is ‘Kiwi’.
