What is the biggest bird in the world?

The biggest bird in the world is the Ostrich ( Struthio camelus).

• Size and Weight: Ostriches can stand up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and weigh up to 320 pounds (145 kilograms). This makes them the largest and heaviest living bird species.

• Flightless: While they have wings, ostriches are flightless birds. Their wings are used for balance while running, for display during mating rituals, and for shading their young.

• Speed: Ostriches are incredibly fast runners, capable of reaching speeds of up to 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour) in short bursts. They are the fastest two-legged animal on land.

• Habitat: They are native to Africa and are found in a variety of open habitats, including savannas, grasslands, and deserts.

• Diet: Ostriches are omnivores, feeding on grasses, seeds, fruits, flowers, and sometimes insects and small animals.

• Eggs: Ostrich eggs are the largest eggs of any living bird. They can weigh up to 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) and are about 6 inches (15 centimeters) in diameter.
