The cassowary is the largest bird in northern Australia. Emus are also found in the north (and indeed, all over the continent), whilst the brolga and jabiru are quite large birds but not flightless.

What bird is the largest bird of prey?

FALSE STATEMENT. "The larges bird of prey in the world is not an 'eagle' but a Condor. Californian Condors are the longest (from beak to tail tip) but the Andean Condor has the largest wingspan. They are a type of new world Vulture. The largest eagles are most likely Harpy Eagles." FALSE STATEMENT. THE QUESTION WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE LARGEST BIRD OF PREY. Condors are true SCAVENGERS, NOT birds of prey. They feed on carrion and are therefore not true birds of prey. Meaning they don't kill their own food. The largest birds of prey are eagles in all aspects. They are true predators, although they will readily feast on a fresh carcass. Largest in what aspect? The Stellar's Eagle is the heaviest, the Phillipine eagle is the largest in terms of physical dimension, and Harpy's are the bulkiest.
