those are still estimated to have a mass topping out around 40 pounds, so a bird with the mass of a human would probably be more than twice the size of that one, at least.
I mean…I’m not an ostrich expert, but isn’t that already roughly their wingspan? Fuckers can grow to like 9 feet tall, I suspect their wings fully extended would be pretty wide.
imagine a human-sized flying bird, that would be terrifying

I mean, it would just be an ostrich, with the ability to fly.
and the wingspan the size of a car to lift that weight
Albatross already have the wingspan of a car, an 80kg human would need a lot more.
