[edit] Notes

• There is a Nesting Ground full of them just outside of Fort Ranik.

• The Moa Bird is slightly smaller in height than a Strider.

• The Moa Bird also has bonus attack speed at lower levels (the exact attack speed bonus unknown) though this bonus gradually fades as it levels, up until the Moa Bird has the same attack speed as other pets, 2.15 seconds, at level 20. Oddly, when striders become Moa Birds at level three, they retain the bonus size, but do not inherit the bonus attack speed of animals that automatically start out as Moa Birds. Nor do White Moas and Black Moas have this bonus.

[edit] Trivia

Judging by the name the Moa Birds are inspired by the Moa, a now extinct, giant flightless herbivore native to New Zealand, although they look and behave more like "Terror Birds", prehistoric flightless predatory birds native to America, or like real life birds of prey as the Secretary Bird.
