Birds like egrets and herons rarely weigh more than a few pounds. Even the red-crowned crane, a five foot tall bird, caps out at about twenty pounds. An average nine-month-old human weighs that but is only a foot and a half tall. Flighted birds are crazy light.

Wow, that is indeed crazy. I knew birds were light, but that's still impressive
