So what happened in the end?? It did all of that to be able to sprout wings and fly?
Aw, it seemed so sweet and sad……….but just a tad confusing for me, maybe it’s cause I’m slow at these things…

For anyone who is confused regarding the ending…
The kiwi took painstaking amounts of time to nail (!?) trees to the side of the cliff, and then leapt off. As he was falling straight down, with the vertical tress, it looked like he was flying–something, obviously, the flightless kiwi would love to accomplish.
But, since he was flightless, his few seconds of absolute happiness cost him his life. It is sort of sad, but when you look at the underlying message, it’s more than just a cute cartoon about a kiwi. I love it.

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for explaining. I thought he got shot at the end and knew it would happen. I thought those were tears in his eyes. I didn’t realize he hit bottom – but I guess he new that was coming too huh?. He was very cute though. Very sweet.

Lots of futur for the person who did this.
As for those who require an explanation of the video, do try to look at it a few times before succumbing to the temptation of having someone explaining it to you. It’ll make you feel better if you figure it out y’sef.
