Egg Ratio Cartoon (Apteryx, Synthliboramphus hypoleucus, Synthliboramphus scrippsi)

Here then is a cartoon. Some birds surprisingly do have eggs that are greater ratio compared to their body weight than the kiwis. Seabirds, anyways. Both species of Xantus' Murrelet - the Scripps' and Guadalupe Murrelets - lay an egg about 24% of their body weight. Marginally more than whatever a kiwi can do!
