Kiwi - Apteryx
From Millie Marotta's Curious Creatures: A Colouring Book.
I looked up Kiwi using Wi-Fi.... (isn't English pronunciation odd!)
From Wiki:
'The kiwi lays the biggest egg in proportion to its size of any bird in the world, so even though the kiwi is about the size of a domestic chicken, it is able to lay eggs that are about six times the size of a chicken's egg.'
The kiwi is basically a plain brown bird so I brightened this one with autumnal colours using my Tombow Irojiten pencils without a blender.
P.S. - 'Producing the huge egg places significant physiological stress on the female; for the thirty days it takes to grow the fully developed egg, the female must eat three times her normal amount of food. Two to three days before the egg is laid there is little space left inside the female for her stomach and she is forced to fast.'
