Terror birds were characterized by their massive skulls and powerful, hooked beaks, which were their primary weapons for hunting and killing prey. Unlike modern flightless birds like ostriches or emus, terror birds had relatively small wings and were built for speed and power on the ground. Their long, strong legs allowed them to run swiftly, making them formidable predators in the ancient South American ecosystems.
