Prodigious Birds brings together the entire field of moa-related
research, some 150 years of enquiry. The moa was a large flightless
bird, hunted into extinction by the Maori tribes of New Zealand
before the arrival of Europeans. Atholl Anderson brings an
historical perspective to the development of moa research and its
formative debates, analytical methods and results, reviewing
evidence from palaeontology, biology, archaeology, ethnography and
history.
