How Heavy of a Weight Can Birds Lift-

In movies, birds can casually pick up people and carry them across huge distances. But do birds have those heavy-lifting superpowers in real life? One of the strongest birds on our planet is the harpy eagle: they've been recorded to tackle up to 40 lbs. Owls are equally as strong, and the great horned one is among the toughest birds out there. The biggest type of falcon on Earth is the gyrfalcon: it may weigh somewhere around 3 lbs, but it can lift up to 5 lbs!
