Answer:

Their wings are vestigial, as the kiwi birds are descended from flying ancestors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Their pectoral muscles are not anchored to the breast bone in a way that enables them to fly, and their wings are very small and underdeveloped meaning they wouldnt be able to gain lift with them.
