I believe the largest living flying bird (in terms of body weight) is the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) as seen in your local park. Max Wurr, Stanmore, UK. The largest (heaviest) flying bird today is the Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori) of Africa, males weigh about 18kg, females about half that. The largest bird ever to fly were the Teratorns (a type of Condor), the largest of which, Argentavis magnificens, had a wingspan of 3 metres, and weighed 120kg.
With a wingspan double that of todayâs largest flyers, Pelagornis sandersi was truly the Big Bird of its day. Researchers describing fossil remains of P. sandersi for the first time say the bird had a wingspan of up to 24 feet, qualifying it as the largest flying bird ever to take to Earthâs skies.
