church quiz

[patrixcia]

What bird lays the smallest egg in relation to its size. Ostrich,tit, vulture or penguin.
thank you in advance patrixcia

[squarebear]

Ostrich by far I would think.

[JonnyBoy12]

Yes, the Ostrich lays the largest egg in nature, but the smallest in relation to its' size.

[wildwood]

The ostrich egg is also the largest single cell in the world.

I just thought you might like to know that in case it comes up in the quiz. (°¿°)

[Invictas]

I too agree with Ostrich.
Although the egg is very large,it's not that big in relation to the Ostrich itself.
most of the rearing of the Ostrich chicks is undertaken by the male Ostrich.
When one male Ostrich with chicks meets another there is a standoff,the one that is the most dominant takes the losers chicks as his own!
Imagine that between two female humans in Sainsburys! LOL

[patrixcia]

[Brinjal]

And a usless bit of information. The kiwi lays the largest egg per body size

[heathfield]

You'll have to specify an unfertilized egg, Wildwood.
