This is Episode 52.

Today, we\\u2019re talking about bird species that are way, way bigger than your average chickadee or finch.

Our focus will be on evolutionary lineages that spawned some very large bird species. Species whose ancestors had been much smaller, millions of years earlier.

We\\u2019ll look at a bunch of interesting giant birds throughout history. Then we\\u2019ll talk about some scientific explanations for why these critters got so big in the first place.
