The ostrich [Struthio camelus] is the largest living bird, with weight ranges of 140-190 lb [63-130 kg]. The upper height/weight ceiling known thus far is the North African ostrich, aka the Red-necked ostrich, at 9' [2.75 m] in height, and at 340 lb [154 kg] in weight. The ostrich also lays the largest living bird eggs, with typical sizes of 5.9" [15 cm] long and 5.1" [13 cm] wide, and typical weights of 3.1 lb [1.4 kg]. And it's the fastest living bird. It easily holds a steady speed of 30 mph [50 km/h], and easily reaches a maximum speed of 46 mph [74 km/h].
