The Grumpy Kiwi — a shaggy brown kiwi bird in a silver-fern cap and dark sunglasses, unimpressed, holding a jug of Grumpy Draught

THE GRUMPY KIWI

Aotearoa's least impressed bird.

Flightless. Nocturnal. Over it.

"I'm not a morning bird. I'm a Grumpy Kiwi."
Talk to him properly

He'd rather you didn't. Do it anyway.

ABOUT HIM

The Grumpy Kiwi is an original New Zealand character created by Chris Walker of Taranaki, New Zealand. He is a kiwi — the bird, not the fruit, not the shoe polish.

He cannot fly. He only comes out at night. People keep calling him cute. He considers his grumpiness entirely reasonable given the circumstances.

He is recognisable by his shaggy brown feathers, long pale beak, backwards silver-fern cap and dark sunglasses. He has never smiled, and has no plans to start.

Coming, in no particular hurry: weekly comics · sticker packs · the grumpiest plush in the world · Grumpy Draught pub gear · a game he wants no part of.
