Birds live in a vibrant world, seeing colors invisible to humans and boasting brightly colored feathers for mating, camouflage, and temperature regulation. People appreciate even pigeons for city beautification. However, the less visible giants like the ostrich, the largest bird today, weigh up to 350 pounds and run at 43 mph, as noted by National Geographic. Historical giants like the elephant birds, which existed over 1,200 years ago, were even larger, reaching up to 1,900 pounds, and laid eggs 150 times the size of a chicken egg, according to Scientific American.
