The biggest bird that I've seen is the ostrich which is the largest bird on earth.

The name of the largest bird is the Ostrich.

Ostrich birds are the largest bird that grows up to 9 feet tall and can weigh as much as 287 lbs.

Ostriches are large flightless birds.

They are the heaviest and largest living birds, with adult common ostriches weighing anywhere between 63.5 and 145 kilograms and laying the largest eggs of any living land animal.

And with the ability to run at 70 km/h, they are the fastest birds on land.

Emus and ostriches also live in different places. Emus are native to Australia, while ostriches are native to Africa.

The ancestors of the two birds lived together on the supercontinent Gondwana around 90 million years ago and evolved into different species once the continent split into separate land masses.

Some interesting facts about the ostrich are.

They Are the World's Largest Bird.
Ostriches Can't Fly But They Run Really Fast.
They Only Have Two Toes.
Ostriches Live in Flocks.
Male Ostriches Dance For Their Ladies.
Ostriches Have a Specialized Stomach.
They Produce the World's Biggest Eggs.

Ostriches also have 3 stomachs because they need to metabolize the tough plant matter that they eat, which they can't do in just a single stomach the way humans do.
