What is the bird that can lay an very big egg?
The largest bird is the ostrich, whose eggs weigh more than three pounds. However, in proportion to its size, the kiwi bird lays the biggest eggs for its body size. The kiwi is about the size of a chicken and its egg is almost as big as the egg of an emu, a much larger bird than the kiwi.
What type of humming bird lay the smallest bird egg?
The bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) lays the smallest bird egg among all hummingbirds. The egg is about the size of a pea and is typically white in color.
Why are some eggs big and some small?
It all depends on the animal. If it is an ostrich for example, the egg will be very big because the bird is very big. If it is a chicken, the egg is small because the bird is small. So it all depends on the animal's size.
