  3. Malo Luina and Wongsoon for being the first two to comment in here. Luina, just check the second half of your statement. Was it one of the first birds to become flightless or was it a flightless bird? Keep adding comments everyone, and don't forget to go back and read that what you are about to post is correct, makes sense...etc. Well done Luina and Wongsoon!!

  6. The extinction of the Moa bird was very unfortunate. I wonder if any of the Maori people decided to farm them? You know, like how farmers farm sheep and cattle? Hmm...just one of the questions that popped into my head while we were learning about The Moa. As well as the Moa, the Haast bird (the moa's predator) later became extinct too. Did anyone research on this bird?
