CRAP !!
The Roadrunner can travel over 20 MPH, but that pales in comparison to the Ostrich of Africa.
The ostrich can achieve a land speed of over 45 MPH, the top land speed of any bird.

The egg of an ostrich requires a force of 120 pounds to break it open.
Ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs (and by extension, the yolk is the largest single cell), though they are actually the smallest eggs relative to the size of the adult bird. – on average they are 15 centimeters (5.9 in) long, 13 centimeters (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken egg.
Ostriches reared entirely by humans may not direct their courtship behavior at other Ostriches, but toward their human keepers
