Wow! What if that giant bird from New Zealand has come back to life?

off topic, but this appears to be a canadian source writting this, and at the bottom I noticed, "50 per cent" Is that a typo or am I theonly one who writes "per cent" as percent

It's a typo eh!

Probably a common bird species that was deformed at birth and resulted as abnormally larger than size. :confused:

There is actually a limitation to the size of flying birds. The giant eagle in Australia/New Zealand was about the larges flying bird that could exist.
