Platypuses can give a low growl when disturbed, and a range of vocalisations have been reported in captivity. [16] Size varies considerably in different regions, with average weight from 0.7 to 2.4 kg (1 lb 9 oz to 5 lb 5 oz); males have average length 50 cm (20 in), while females are the smaller at 43 cm (17 in).

Egg size tends to be proportional to the size of the adult bird, [citation needed] from the half gram egg of the bee hummingbird to the 1.5 kg egg of the ostrich. Kiwis have disproportionately large eggs, up to 20% of the female's body weight. [18]

However, the specialized cells on the platypus’s bill allow it to pick up electric pulses. This sixth sense in the platypus is called electrolocation and it’s a highly effective method of hunting.
With farms across the U.S. testing positive for bird flu cases, the USDA predicts that egg prices will rise up to 20% this year due to a shortage of eggs. One of the nation's top egg producers ...
Less variable in size, the largest species of plovers is the Australasian masked lapwing (Vanellus miles) which grows up to 0.4 m (1.3 ft) long with a 0.85 m (2.8 ft) wingspan and a weight of 400 g (14 oz). [77] The widely distributed Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia), is relatively large and heavily built. Caspians can range up to 782 g (1.724 ...
In 2025, egg prices are expected to be around $0.85 per dozen below the average 2024 egg price, based on the assumption of an increase in flock size and a 4.2% year-over-year increase in egg ...
Ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs, [4] though they are actually the smallest eggs relative to the size of the adult bird — on average they are 15 cm (5.9 in) long, 13 cm (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken's egg and only 1 to 4% the size of the female.
