You should see the Haast Eagle full scale model they have at Te Papa. They have it hanging off the ceiling and its swooping down on a moa. Looks so awesome, I wish those eagles were still around

Imagine if you were able to tame one so you could fly on its back. That would be awesome

I wonder how many minutes at 220 Centigrade they'd take to cook?

Would they be better with potatoes or noodles?

Definitely a Potato bird, methinks.

[Biff]

ok - whose gonna catch one and wring its neck then?

[vifferman]

Definitely a Potato bird, methinks.So would a brace of them be a Hoggley Doggley?

{insert groaning emoticon thingo here}
I don't think they'd last long if they were still around, especially if they feasted on road kill like swamp harriers. They'd take so long to take off, they'd get skittled all the time.

But didn't they only inhabitate Haaast or summat anyways?
