Ostrich eggs are bigger than emu eggs. Ostrich eggs are about the size of a cantaloupe or rockmelon, whereas an emu egg can be compared more to the size of a grapefruit. An average emu egg equates to about 8 chicken eggs, while an ostrich egg equals between 18 and 24 chicken eggs.

The emu is Australia's tallest bird, averaging 1.6 to 2 metres in height. Its nearest rival is the Southern Cassowary which averages 1.5 to 2 metres. Next to the emu, it looks distinctly shorter and stockier.
The Southern Cassowary, however, tends to be heavier. Emus range between 30 and 45kg in weight, whilst the Southern Cassowary averages 38 - 48kg.
