As most of us know, birds are mainly found on
continents with major land masses from the poles to the tropics, but
also over the seas and oceans. The most common wild bird in the world is the Red-billed Quelea from Africa, while the most common domestic bird is the Red Junglefow, commonly known as the common domestic chicken.
The rarest bird is hard to distinguish, as a large number of birds
have been considered rare for quite some time like the Sudanese Red
Sea Cliff Swallow.
Since the 1600s, human interference alone has led to
the extinction of about 115 species of birds. The largest living bird is the Ostrich, which is 2.74m high and weighs at the most 160 kilograms, while the heaviest flying bird is said to be the Kori Bustard of Africa, weighing up to a record 19kg.
Contrary to this, It's hard to believe, but the smallest bird is the Bee Hummingbird from Cuba, which weighs
a mere 1.6 grams.
