Published on Sun Jan 19 2025 in Community
January 19th marks National Kiwi Day, a day to celebrate the unique and treasured icons of New Zealand. Whether it’s the charming nocturnal bird, the vibrant green fruit, or the proud nickname for New Zealanders themselves, Kiwis hold a special place in our hearts.
At Momentum Life, we’re all about celebrating what makes life in Aotearoa New Zealand special. Just like the kiwi bird symbolises resilience and uniqueness, our goal is to help you protect what matters most—your whānau and their future.

Why Kiwis Are Special
The Kiwi Bird
The kiwi bird, a flightless wonder, is one of New Zealand’s most cherished national symbols. Known for its quirky long beak and nocturnal habits, this rare bird embodies the uniqueness of our natural world. Kiwi birds are also a reminder of the importance of conservation, with ongoing efforts to protect them from predators and ensure their survival.
The Kiwi Fruit
Juicy, tangy, and packed with Vitamin C, the kiwi fruit (or kiwifruit) is another iconic treasure. Originally known as the Chinese gooseberry, it was rebranded to honour its resemblance to the kiwi bird. Today, it’s a staple in Kiwi households and a favourite export worldwide.
Kiwis: The People
Of course, the term "Kiwi" affectionately refers to New Zealanders themselves—known for their warmth, ingenuity, and “can-do” attitude. Whether you’re cheering on the All Blacks or lending a hand to a mate, being a Kiwi means embracing the values that make this country special.
