Bush Moa Colouring Page

Bush Moa (Anomalopteryx didiformis). Country of origin: the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Extinction: It disappeared approximately in the 1400s; this is an estimated extinction period. Cause: Overhunting by humans was the main cause, with possible predation on chicks by introduced dogs. Special characteristics: Also called the little bush moa, this small, compact, wingless bird had a relatively short neck and sturdy legs. How to Colour: Try brown shaggy feathers, grey scaly legs and a lighter head. Exact plumage details remain uncertain; use short strokes on the body and small careful marks around the legs and toes.
