The Andean condor is the largest living land bird capable of flight if measured in terms of average weight and wingspan, although male bustards of the largest species (far more sexually dimorphic in size) can weigh more. [14] [19] [20] The mean wingspan is around 283 cm (9 ft 3 in) and the wings have the largest surface area of any extant bird ...

The Accipitridae are a diverse family with a great deal of variation in size and shape. They range in size from the tiny pearl kite ( Gampsonyx swainsonii ) and little sparrowhawk ( Accipiter minullus ), both of which are 23 cm (9 in) in length and weigh about 85 g (3 oz), to the cinereous vulture ( Aegypius monachus ), which measures up to 120 ...
