Heaviest Flying Birds

The Kori Bustard or paauw (Ardeotis Kori) of northeast and southern Africa and the great bustard (Otis tarda) of Europe and Asia weigh about 40-42 pounds.

According to my google search......

Thank you. I'm looking for something different for Thanksgiving this year. I wonder if I can find one at the local market.

The elephant bird?

I think you are right on the bird part of your reply though. Define fly...

Does it have to be able to fly by its own means? Or can you tie a rockit to it's body and shoot it off?
