11. Southern Giant Petrel
On the surface, the Southern Giant Petrel may not seem like that dangerous of a bird. Especially since it lives in the Southern Oceans, including around Antarctica and thus isn't around humans that much. But while this bird isn't dangerous to humans, it's most definitely dangerous to other birds around it.

10. Ostrich
It may come as a surprise to some that the biggest bird on Earth today is one that cannot fly. But do not sell the Ostrich short...so to speak. You would live to regret it.
These birds are indeed quite tall, with the males of the species being able to reach over 9 feet in height in certain cases. The females are still rather tall themselves, able to get over 6 feet 7 inches.

9. Emu
The Emu is very tall, the second tallest bird in the world in regards to height. They can get just over 6 feet, which is the size of a tall human. But their main asset is their ability to run fast across the lands of Australia that they call home. They can reach up to 50 kilometers Per Hour when they need to.

8. Lammergeier
The Lammergeier is also known as the Bearded Vulture, and it's a bird that you definitely need to be on the lookout for. Their size can be very impressive, including having a wingspan of about 10 feet! Now, like many vultures, they are scavengers, and prefer to pick the bones of kills that have already been made.

7. Great Horned Owl
Easily one of the most recognizable owls in the world today, the Great Horned Owl is one that has adapted to live all over America and beyond, and is known to be quite fierce in how it handles its business. In context, owls as a whole are known to attack humans when the circumstances are there.

6. Red-Tailed Hawk
The Red-Tailed Hawk is honestly an interesting bird to discuss because many people have a very good relationship with this species. Mainly because it's used very commonly in Falconry:
"Red-tailed hawks are usually used to hunt small game such as rabbits and squirrels, as well as larger quarries such as Hares. "

5. Common Loon
The Common Loon isn't your typical kind of bird. It's a bird that prefers to use diving techniques while already on the water to catch prey. Thus its classification as a "Diver Bird".
"The common loon uses its powerful hind legs to propel its body underwater at high speed to catch its prey, which it then swallows head-first. If the fish attempts to evade the common loon, the bird chases it down with excellent underwater maneuverability due to its tremendously strong legs."

4. Mute Swan
Some of you might be confused by this entry. Because when you think of a swan, you likely think of the majestic bird that has been used as a symbol of love and other things over the years. Which is fair and true in many respects. But when it comes to the Mute Swan, they act like many birds do when they're nesting.

3. Australian Magpie
It is said that the Australian Magpie is the second most dangerous bird in Australia. Mainly because like many birds they have a very aggressive tendency to attack ANYONE who comes into their various home turfs when they're nesting.

2. Peregrine Falcon
There are many fast animals in the world, including many like cheetahs that can keep up with cars, but in terms of "super speed', there is only one true contender, the Peregrine Falcon. This is a bird that has been clocked at a blistering 242 miles per hour. Four times the average speed limit on a highway.

1. Cassowary
Cassowaries are one of many 'land birds' that live in the world today. However, what they have over their fellow land birds is an aggressiveness and their ability to do serious damage to those who mess with them. What's more, they have a very documented history with humans in terms of attacking them. However, not in the way you'd expect.
