The largest bird to have ever lived is the Madagascan Elephant Bird or Aepyornis. This flightless bird is thought to have have weighed up to 1100 pounds and have reached 11 feet in height. The tallest bird in the world was the New Zealand Giant Moa which could grow to 13 feet. The largest flying bird was the Argentavis of South America. Also called the Giant Teratorn, this bird could have a wingspan up to 26 feet. All these birds are now extinct.
