Before crashing to Papatūanuku,(earth) Rahi managed to safely guide Manu Tangata into a giant nest. This nest was home for a Hokioi bird (Haast Eagle), a giant eagle that was native to Aotearoa, fortunately for Rahi, the mother bird was not present, however, her chicks were, and they were very hungry. Rahi took the moa eggs from his kī and gave these to the baby Hokioi to eat. Namu, the mother bird, flew in as Rahi was feeding her babies, seeing him feed them told her that Rahi was a good guy, so she gently grabbed Rahi and flew him back to Papatūanuku. Namu then decided she would continue to fly above Rahi to keep an eye on him.
