It is a bird called the elephant bird. It was over 3m tall and was similar to the emu or ostrich. One of its giant eggs could feed an entire family. The moa was slightly taller, but weighed less. Neither one could fly. The largest raptor - which could fly - was the Haast's eagle. This 25lb, 4'7" monster stood about 3ft tall on the ground and preyed on the moas. Its striking force would have been about the same as a cinder block being dropped from the roof of a building eight stories high - enough to easily kill a large bird like the moa.
