 * Yeah, it's a bit confusing and the article makes no comment. I was redirected here from Stout-legged Moa, the article is titled Broad-billed Moa, but then starts "The Coastal Moa..."! Presumably these are different names for the same animal (or poss diff species that have now been synonymised) but this should be mentioned in the text.


 * It's also unclear whether any of the text actually applies to this species as it's basically the same as for the Broad-billed Moa. I'm not sure that the digression into what distinctive anatomical features Struthioniforms have is useful here, either. It seem to me that this text was simply lifted from the reference without any real consideration.


 * Lastly, when did it change from being a North Island only species to having existed on South and Stewart Islands as well? 58.7.82.63 (talk) 03:25, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, they are the same article, so the text is the same. And yes, all names are from synonyms. FunkMonk (talk) 07:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
