The emu is the tallest native bird in Australia, but not the heaviest. The Southern Cassowary tends to be heavier. Emus range between 30 and 45kg in weight, whilst the Southern Cassowary averages 38 - 48kg. Australia's largest flying bird is the Australian pelican. With a wingspan that can exceed 3 metres, a height of up to 180cm and a weight of up to 13 kg, the Australian pelican is very clearly the largest flying bird in Australia.
Australia's weebill is the smallest native bird. It averages 8cm - 9cm in length, and is found over most of the mainland. It gained its unusual name from its small, rather stubby beak. The weebill is smaller even than the finches and fairy wren species.
