O for ostrich

O is for... ostrich!

Well, not the whole ostrich - it wouldn't fit in the drawer! The ostrich is the largest bird alive today - its eggs are about 20 times the size of hen eggs.

The ostrich is the biggest bird alive today, but even bigger birds have lived in the past. Which of these extinct birds were bigger than an ostrich:

 

The moa

The dodo

The elephant bird
