∙ 12y agoThe Moa Was The Tallest Bird That Has Ever Lived. The Moa Was A Very Tall Bird That Lived In New Zealand. It's Eggs Probably Grew Up To 30 Centimeters Long. It Was Possibly Very Shy And Was Mostly Harmless. It Had Only 1 Natural Predator, The Haast's Eagle. But Humans, Dogs And Cats Came Around And Killed The Moas. Humans Threw Spears At Them And Killed Them. It Also Probably Got Rarer Because Different Types Of Animals Killed Their Young And Eggs. It Probably Grew Up To 4 Meters Tall And Grew Up To About 200 Lbs. NOTE: I Am Only Going To Do The Moa And Not The Elephant Bird Or Roc After All That Writing.

What bird is the largest bird of prey?
FALSE STATEMENT. "The larges bird of prey in the world is not an 'eagle' but a Condor. Californian Condors are the longest (from beak to tail tip) but the Andean Condor has the largest wingspan. They are a type of new world Vulture. The largest eagles are most likely Harpy Eagles." FALSE STATEMENT. THE QUESTION WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE LARGEST BIRD OF PREY. Condors are true SCAVENGERS, NOT birds of prey. They feed on carrion and are therefore not true birds of prey. Meaning they don't kill their own food. The largest birds of prey are eagles in all aspects. They are true predators, although they will readily feast on a fresh carcass. Largest in what aspect? The Stellar's Eagle is the heaviest, the Phillipine eagle is the largest in terms of physical dimension, and Harpy's are the bulkiest.
