Was the moa bird an omnivore carnivore or herbivore?

Well, they were two large carnivorous birds that looked like a moa, one was the Terror birds and the second was the adzebills. You probably do know about the Terror bird but the Adzebill you probably did not know. It was a large bird that was somewhat smaller than the moa but was still larger than a human It had a curved beak like the moa but was more designed to attack and kill prey like tuataras. The bird became extinct before early settlers. But nobody knows why they died out so early.
