The Moa is a bird of a different sort of feather; however, it is analogous to the earth-bound ostrich. It varies in size from that of a turkey to a size larger than an ostrich. Moas are swift and adept running birds, and they protect themselves by kicking when they are confronted. While the larger of the species became extinct by the end of the 17th century, a few of the smaller of the species may have survived into the 19th century. Some scientists have said that the moa birds bear a resemblance to “overgrown chicks.” These birds grow at a prolonged rate, and they may take as long as ten years to reach their full-grown adult size.

Penguin is a bird among all these animals. Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds. They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, with only one species, the Galapagos penguin, found north of the equator. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have counter-shaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have evolved into flippers. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea-life caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their lives on land and half in the oceans. Although almost all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere, they are not found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin live so far south. Several species are found in the temperate zone, and one species, the Galápagos penguin, lives near the equator.

In English language, it is very easy to see words that have different spelling, meaning but the same sound. At times, you will see words that naturally shouldn't have the same sound but when you listen carefully to their real sound and transcription, they sound the same way.

These are two different words but they have the same sound. Pigeon is a particular type of bird of the family of Columbidae.
