Ostrich Eggs

Other than being the largest living bird, the ostrich also boasts of eggs which are the largest of the extant species of birds. However, if you consider the size of eggs relative to the size of bird, then ostrich eggs are the smallest.

At 5.9 inches (approx.), ostrich eggs are the largest of any living bird, which doesn’t come as a surprise, considering ostrich itself is the largest living species of bird in the world. A hen – female ostrich – can lay 40-100 eggs per year, which roughly amounts to one egg every second day from the mid-March till the mid-August. (In favorable conditions, the female can remain productive for 25-35 years.)
