Kiwi birds are blind. They can't see anything, but they can locate insects and worms by smelling with their nostrils located at the end of long beaks. There are six unique varieties of kiwi bird. You can see them in some national parks of New Zealand like Kaitaia Nocturnal Park, Northland Regional Museum, Auckland Zoo, etc.

I would guess that since they catch bugs to eat, that their vision close-up is probably just fine. They are a very very ancient species of bird; so if they couldn't see well enough to keep away from predators and find enough bugs to eat, the kiwi bird would have long since become extinct. This is actually an exaggeration, because the kiwi bird can see, they just have near-sighted vision and only see about six feet away during the daytime, and around two feet away in the dark. Since they are nocturnal, they do most of their hunting at night, and because they can't fly, they do not really need to see very far in front of them.
