kiwi

In French, the word 'kiwi' is used the same way as in English to refer to both the fruit and the bird. The term describes the green fruit with a fuzzy brown exterior, known for its sweet and tart flavor, and it is also used to refer to the flightless bird native to New Zealand. When discussing the fruit, it may appear in culinary contexts, while in wildlife discussions, it pertains to the unique characteristics of the kiwi bird.
