LNH/Meta: kiwis

[Lalo Martins]

So, I have a character in 58.5 who is a kiwi.  So I went netside to do 
some homework.  They have really long beaks, with the nostrils in the end 
(rather than the base, like most birds).  Wings so tiny you can't see 
them in the plumage.  And they come in different shades of brown 
(depending on the species; one is spotted).

Er.  Why are ours often described as green?  O.o  Are they maybe hybrids 
of the bird and the fruit?  Or maybe they just haven't matured yet?  Or 
they're radioactive mutant birds?

best,
                                               Lalo Martins

       then they seem improbable, and then, when we
       summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
