Argentavis was probably the largest bird ever to fly by a large margin, possably being twice as large as the second largest bird, paleogornis. This video answers questions like, how was such a large question able to get into the air? what did they eat? and how did they get so big?

Dragons and rocs have a natural rivalry with one another, due to both being the largest flying apex predators and often competing for territory and prey.

Cinnamologus Bird
I freaking love the Cinnamologus. Back in the day, cinnamon was super super expensive because you could only get it from one place, and when the traders turned up to buy it, the cinnamon sellers were like, "You'll never believe it guys...but these little sticks are from the nest of a bird. A FREAKING MASSIVE BIRD. That is CARNIVOROUS. And it builds its nest high up on SHEER CLIFFS. And the cliffs are MADE OF GLASS. The only way we could get these sticks is to leave out a dead cow to lure the bird away from its nest, and then smash bits away by throwing rocks before the Cinnamologus comes back and eats us. Barely escaped with our lives. Yep. That'll be 1200 sheep please."
We first get writings about the Cinnamologus in about 450BCE, and it's not until nearly FIVE HUNDRED YEARS LATER that Pliny the Elder writes a takedown piece exposing the cinnamon trade and calling bullshit on the whole thing. It just makes me so happy.
