Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -While an ostrich lays the world’s largest bird’s egg, it is actually the smallest in proportion to the mother at just 2% of her body weight. In fact, kiwi eggs are six times bigger than other birds of the same size.
Detailed explanation-2: -The largest extant species of bird measured by mass is the common ostrich (Struthio camelus), closely followed by the Somali ostrich (Struthio molybdophanes). The Struthioniformes family are from the plains of Africa.
