This is the story of a moa, a huge flightless bird which lived several thousand years ago in New Zealand. Philip Temple imagines the life of one of these birds, the tallest that ever lived. He tells how the bird looked for food, how he found a mate and cared for his young. We follow his long life in the deep New Zealand forests and see how discoveries of moa bones and fossils have helped uncover the secrets of this giant bird of long ago.
