Largest Types of Birds

A wonderful bird is the pelican, His bill will hold more than his belican, He can take in his beak Enough food for a week But I'm damned if I see how the helican! couldn't resist.

Alas no dodos or archaeopteryx either.

nor gnus, moas

There was a bird called a gnu too? Never heard of that one.

M R Ducks
A R Not
S A R
C M Wangs?
L I B
M R Ducks

I got most of that, but I couldn't figure out "L I B". Well, I'll be?

Well I'll be!

I don't get it

Yeah I don't really get it either... I guess reading it aloud is supposed to approximate a conversation about whether or not there are ducks, or something? According to this post on reddit it is some of sort of joke, but the humor escapes me.

Two more if you can stand them: M R PUP EEEE M R Not O S A R C M P N? L I B M R PUP EEEE and, M R Snakes M R not Snakes O S A R C D B D IIIII? L I B M R Snakes

Here is a quiz for you

I've heard a bit of a shorter version, but I like yours! Here's the one I know: M R Ducks. M R Not. M R Ducks! C D B D I's! O I C, M R Ducks.

Surprised not to see herons, flamingos, ibis, even peacocks, geese, and turkeys.

Herons are tiny compared to ostriches. They're tiny even compared to swans.

Well green herons are. Great Blues are quite large, actually.

Goliath Heron's males have wingspan of 2.4 metres up to 7ft 6in............ not too small I would suggest.

Kept trying Dee Reynolds. Not sure why it's not on here.

It's a mystery.

I spelt 'stork' as 'stalk'... durrr :(

How's the weather up in Boston? ;)

Since the word spelt was used, I'm guessing mdjones resides in Old England rather than New England. :)

I know he lives in England.

I'm very close to positive that the bird with the largest wingspan is the Wandering Albatross, but I'll believe you Quizmaster...

Huh. I always thought "bustard" was just a common mispronunciation of "buzzard."

no it's a mispronunciation of bastard probably.

I was listening to an I Hate Everything video while doing this quiz. I couldn't think of the #2 largest bird and it was killing me. Then in the I Hate Everything video he started talking about how he wouldn't kill a cassowary because he likes birds to much. That was the strangest coincidence that has ever happened to me.

I was thinking Ostrich will be a popular answer

I can only think of bustards in connection to Dr. Seuss. It's just true now.

Their wingspan is around 1.6 meters (a bit over 5 feet). The shortest wingspan on the list up there is around 2.7 meters (a little less than 9 feet.)

Ostrich never comes up on Jetpunk! It never comes up at all! I answer “ostrich” on every Jetpunk quiz but it never comes up at all! Ostrich owsrichb lol Haha I used to type ostrich as an answer for everything on Jetpunk when I was little and now it’s a running joke.

All of these are found in the southern hemisphere and only some in the northern.
