How Moa Become Extinct

The moa were large, flightless birds who onced lived on the islands of New Zealand. When the Polynesians came to New Zealand everything changed for the Moa. The Polynesians became Maori, they hunted the large, flightless bird, Moa. They hunted them for food and they used the feathers to create coats for the cold. They killed more and more Moa until they finally got extinct. They didn’t realise that Moa only laid one to two eggs a year unlike chickens who lay more than 200 eggs a year. Other predators like dogs and rats also ate moa eggs which helped make them extinct.

There were also over 30 other species of birds that the Maori hunted to extinction. But this was their way to get food. But they also grew crops and they also went fishing to get more food.
