I'm surprised so many of you have not been able to see / have rarely seen the Kiwis. I have seen them like basically every time I have gone to the zoo, and they are usually very active. You just have to look for a while, since they can be hard to see in the dark and can blend in. But (from my experience, at least) once your eyes adjust to the light, you should be fine.
Because of the route I usually take through the zoo, I typically arrive at the Kiwi exhibit around the middle of the day. Perhaps this timing is why I have been able to see the Kiwis, but the rest of you have had worse luck?
There is also the possibility that I have just been extremely lucky, and that this is all just random. Who knows.
