The adult Kiwi bird lays its egg, from which grows the ‘kiwifruit,’ which in turn eventually develops the secondary characteristics readily recognizable as belonging to the class Aves. “Scooping out the inside with a spoon,” is a practical method of eating immature kiwis, as at this stage in their development they have not developed awareness/sentience.

After a kiwi has become fully mature, the life cycle repeats itself. It is thought by most zoologists that this unusual life cycle is the result of the long association Kiwis have had with interdimentional travel, an association the Kiwi has in common with Owls. It is hypothesized that in alternate dimensions, this form of lifecycle is, if not rare, then at least somewhat common. Similar biological functionality have been observed in the plant kingdom in our own dimension (ie: hesperidia and the oak/squirrel phenomena).
