Pouakai

Why pouakai were the killer birds?

The pouakai was a colossal eagle that lived for 20-30 years.
The pouakai was discovered by Julius von Haast, that is why the pouakai
has another name the Haast Eagle.  The pouakai died not long after the
moa became extinct, because the moa was its main food. 

The pouakai had a 3m wingspan. It also had 9cm claws as big as a tiger’s.
  The female pouakai weighed 10-15kgs, but the male only weighed 9-12kg!
This amazing bird could also fly up to 80 km per hour. The pouakai had brown
and black feathers, and white tail feathers. Pouakai was as big as a moa.
Surprisingly the female was bigger than the male.

The amazing bird lived at Mt Torlesse. The pouakai’s main food was Moa,
but it also fed on people. The bird has only been seen and found in the
South Island.  Pouakai would rip up food with its big talons!

So this proves how magnificent this bird was, by how big its talons were
and how it ate people and children.
