Giant Haast’s Eagle Colouring Page

Giant Haast’s Eagle (Hieraaetus moorei). Country of origin: the South Island of New Zealand. Extinction: It disappeared around the 1400s, after the loss of the moa on which it fed. Cause: Extinction of its main prey through human hunting was a major cause; habitat changes may also have contributed. Special characteristics: A powerful hooked bill, broad wings and exceptionally large talons distinguished this enormous eagle. How to Colour: Use brown and cream feathers, a dark hooked bill and yellowish feet as reconstruction colours, since exact plumage is unknown. Colour carefully around the huge talons and hooked bill.
