===Sierra 117===
==Gallery==
[[Sierra 117]] has 17 Moa Statues, which can be found in the following locations:
*At the start, nestled in the roots of a tree behind chief's impact crater.
*Nestled into the greenery on the left side wall where the brute howling is heard.
*In the water pool just afterwards, at the edge closest to where the player came from.
*Atop the cliff face beside a waterfall that Johnson's squad scales when they split up with the Master Chief.
*Inside the small structure near the first Brute encounter.
*Amidst the cluster of rocks where the stream makes its first drop.
*After the first flare tunnel, when you drop into another short tunnel, the statue is behind you.
*In the area where a marine informs you of "sleepers", the statue is in the branches of a tree in the middle right of the section.
*In the section where [[Reynolds|Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds]] is being interrogated by a [[Jiralhanae]], the Moa is atop a pipe immediately after the bridge.
*Among the bodies of Reynolds' squad is another statue.
*In the section where [[Avery Johnson|Sgt. Johnson's]] [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] gets shot down, a Moa is hiding under the ramp down from the small structures toward the river.
*In the cliffside structure, the Moa is up high in the pipe.
*In the area where Johnson says "If you want breakfast, you gotta catch it", there's a Moa in the bush atop the outcropping to the left of the starting overlook. Due to the bush and the placement height, it is not normally observable without using a sniper from the other end of the area; a grenade is recommended for this one.
*Using a sniper from the crashed pelican, standing atop the rock next to the pipe, look towards the tree beside the flare tunnel. Between the two leftmost branches, just above the bushes at the edge of the room geometry, the Moa should be visible. It might also be collectable just after the cutscene with Johnson being thrown in a cell, walking to the edge of the vantage point and turning around to shoot up at the top edge of the room geometry above the tunnel you came from; The trees make seeing the Moa from this angle very difficult though.
*At the side of the metal bridge closer to the crashed pelican, face the pelican and turn left to see a tree in front of a cave; directly above where the tree splits in two, in the bushes at the top of the room geometry is where another Moa is hiding.
*There is a Moa beneath the bend in the river between the crashed pelican and the final area. It can be gotten from either end, but has a better visual lineup from the crashed pelican side.
*After the cutscene where Johnson is being thrown in the cell, the statue is to the right of the building where Johnson is, near the water on some pipes.

===Crow's Nest===
[[Crow's Nest]] has 14 Moa Statues, which can be found in the following locations:
*At the back of the Ops Center, up the stairs and in the corner with the two server racks and table.
*After you grab your weapons and head through the first door to where the bugger ambush occurs later, the statue is on your right at the back of the room resting below a weapon cache.
*When you enter the road tunnel where the warthog blows up, follow the road rightward to the end; the Moa is behind a stack of boxes with a tarp over them in the corner.
*At the farther end of the first road tunnel, where the RvB easter egg is, the statue is above the ventilation pipe where it connects to the wall.
*In the [[hangar]], just below where the [[Phantom]] drops off troops, the statue is located behind some crates near the back of the room.
*In the hangar, on the right side above the farther of two red girders on the wall adjacent to where the pelican leaves.
*On the cliffs outside the hangar, directly below the opening.
*In the room with the first Brute Chieftain encounter, tucked away in the first alcove on the right side.
*After the Chieftain encounter, hang a left in the tunnel that opens. The statue will be beside the marine corpse.
*In the ventilation shaft with the buggers and the Cortana moment, the statue is in the middle left tube.
*In the section with the [[Jiralhanae Jumper|Jump-Pack Brutes]], the statue is up high in the building overlooking the [[landing pad]].
*Also in the section with the Jump-Pack Brutes, there is a statue under the central platform on the third underhang clockwise from the road.
*In the small elbow tunnel connecting the two road tunnels after the encounter with the Jump-Pack Brutes, to the right of the door leading to the second tunnel.
*At the end of the second road tunnel, above the ventilation pipe where it connects to the wall that opens back to the room where the chieftain encounter ocurred.

Master Chief looking at a Golden Moa.
Master Chief looking at a golden Moa in Halo 3.

Moa statues are a campaign collectible found in the Master Chief Collection editions of Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4.[1] Within the collection, the statues were introduced in Halo 3 with Series 8: Mythic, and several can be found in each level on any difficulty and take the form of a small golden Moa. Upon being discovered, the statues can be destroyed, with the weekly challenge Eye Spy requiring the destruction of three such Moa for completion.[2] Statues for Reach and ODST were introduced in the Series 9 update in August 2022, with Combat Evolved and Halo 4 gaining statues in the December 2022 update.[3][4] The campaign for Halo 2 received the Moa statues in the July 2023 update for The Master Chief Collection.[5]

Three levels are chosen to spawn Moa within each week (observable on the challenge itself), with each level getting three statues chosen, meaning they are not all consistently placed all the time.[6]
