As I mentioned earlier...

about the Haast Eagle being more famous than this bird would ya believe it is also an extinct bird, shall I say its name again if u dont know what I mean, I shall, this birds name is the Adzebill. Here is a picture of it for those who dont know what it looks like.



I dunno what its Maori names are but its probably named the Adzebill because of its big bill. I shall look up its Maori names and tell u later cause I believe that all NZ birds have Maori names but believe it or not, some do. It was killed by Polinesians who found this bird quite delicious.

Birds with 2 maori names

Maori has been a important factor in my lifestyle, the Karearea has 2 maori names and thanks to the internet I have found another one with 2 Maori names, the Haast Eagle. After some searching on pics of Moa I have found a picture of two being chased by a Haast Eagle, but have also found its other maori name. Its Maori names are 'Te Pouakai' and of course the most recent one which I have found 'Te Hokioi'. Good on ya for this website for detailing this massive but more famous than the Adzebill. U have given me great hope for finding more information about this massive bird which I am doing research on for one of my old teachers at Salisbury School. Here is this website which I am talking about down below.
