* The largest cranes (family Gruidae) can be almost 6 ft. 6 in. tall.

* Andean condors (Vultur gryphus) are the heaviest species of bird of prey. Males weigh 20-27 pounds and have a wingspan of at least 10 feet. A male California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) preserved in the California Academy of Sciences is reported to weigh 31 pounds. It is rare for the species to exceed 23 pounds in weight.

* The wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) has the largest wingspan of any living bird. As a result, it is an expert glider and it is capable of remaining in the air without beating its wings for several hours at a time. The largest known specimen was an extremely old male with and 11 ft. 11 in. wingspan. It was caught in the Tasman Sea in September 1965. It has also been known to sleep while it flies!

The wandering albatross has the largest wingspan, at 3.4 meters. The kori bustard is the heaviest flying bird. It can weigh almost 20 kg. An extinct, vulture-like bird called the giant teratorn, Argentavis magnificens, weighed about 75 kg and had a wingspan of 8 meters!

Answer 4

It depends on what you mean when you say "biggest".
Do you mean tallest, heaviest or widest wing span?

Condor, common name for two large American vultures, the Andean condor and the California condor.

Both are among the largest living flying birds.

The Andean condor has the larger wingspan, reaching 3.25 m (10y ft); the wingspan of the California condor does not exceed 2.9 m (9y ft).

The California condor is somewhat heavier, weighing up to 14 kg (31 lb), and male Andean condors weigh about 11.5 kg (25 lb).
