Talk:North Island giant moa

Untitled
I think this page is talking about the Giant Moa - the species, however, the North Island Giant Moa was a sub-species. On this page it says the North Island Giant Moa lived in both islands, but (as the name suggests) it lived in the North Island only. Should the page be changed - I don't want to just delete sombody else's hard work, but I don't think its right (though I may be wrong) --ScribbleStick (talk) 19:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you may be correct that the article has not kept up with the reclassification of moa from Dinornis giganteus and D. struthoides to D. novaezealandiae. I checked my copy of Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia but it predates the reclassification. Since I'm not a moa expert, I also won't change the article myself, but I suggest that if you don't get a response from someone more knowledgable soon you ask again at Talk:Moa which probably has more people watching it, or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds.- gadfium 21:56, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't it be better to merge all the Dinornis species articles into the Dinornis genus article? There really isn't much to say about most extinct species, apart from dry description of bones and location. FunkMonk (talk) 21:16, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, I hope that the information I add to this page on the North Island Giant Moa not only is up to date with latest classifications but also improves understanding of this particular sub species of moa. As I am no moa expert either, such information is limited to the research I have read. I am editing this page as a part of my uni course and hope fellow wikiusers will take this into consideration upon reading. For this reason, I will update what I have found to be inaccurate information about this moa such as the comments above on this bird having lived in both islands. Look forward to hearing your thoughts and contributions. KaleidoscopeDisco (talk) 03:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
