Kiwi eggs are unusual for their size. A kiwi's egg is 120mm long and 80mm in diameter, which is a little smaller than an emu's egg and considerably smaller than an ostrich egg.

However, the kiwi's egg is the largest in proportion to the body size of the bird. The egg is about six times the size of an egg from another bird of similar size.
