The Moa were some of the biggest and most extraordinary birds to have ever walked the earth.

Eagle new zealand moa. The Haast eagle was a large bird that only lived in the South Island alongside the moa, which was found throughout New Zealand. Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae, reached about 3.6 m (12 ft) in height with neck outstretched, and weighed about 230 kg (510 lb). Evidence shows that this huge eagle existed when Maori first arrived in New Zealand some 800 years ago, and accounts suggest that it may even have still existed when Europeans arrived in the early 1800’s.

Haast’s eagle was the largest eagle ever to be discovered. The mightiest stood nearly nine feet tall and weighed almost a quarter of a ton. Other names for the Haast’s eagle are:.

Moa were nine species (in six genera) of now-extinct flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. The two largest species, Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae, reached about 3.6 m (12 ft) in height with neck outstretched, and weighed about 230 kg (510 lb) while the smallest, the bush moa, was around the size of a turkey. Centuries-old cave drawings of huge eagle-like birds and finds of Haast's eagle bone tools in middens strongly suggest it was known to Maori, and may have been hunted.

The Haast's eagle (Hieraaetus moorei, formerly called Harpagornis moorei) is an extinct species of eagle that once lived in the South Island of New Zealand, commonly accepted to be the pouakai of Maori legend. Scientists believe the Haast's eagle became extinct about 500 years ago, most likely due to habitat destruction and the extinction of its prey species at the hands of early Polynesian settlers. The largest species grew up to 3.7 m (12 ft) tall and weight up to 230 kg (510 lb) – no wonder they were hunted by Maori!.

New Zealand eagle, giant eagle. Before the humans colonized New Zealand about 750 years ago, the largest inhabitants were birds like the Haast's eagle and the moa. The largest present-day eagles do not exceed 9 kg ( lb) of body mass in the wild, which means they are 40% lighter than the Haast’s eagle.

Once the largest bird to have existed, Moa briefly became a New Zealand's national symbol - and New Zealand was called ‘the Land of the Moa’. Haast's eagle became extinct 500-600 years ago, around the same time that New Zealand's moa species became extinct.
