Is there any information available about the size of these birds? Delsydebothom (talk) 16:49, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

No size estimate has been published, just measurements of the few individual bones recovered. It seems to have been about the same size as Presbyornis, with slightly longer wings. A quikc calculation of wing bone measurements in the supplementary info gives me a wingspan of about 2ft (60 cm), but keep in mind only the upper arm bone is known, the rest is based on relatives. It was probably longer-bodied than Presbyornis, since the sacrum is twice as long, but we don't know how long the neck was to the total length can't really be known.

• "has cried fowl" - is that meant to be a joke? Fig (talk) 09:49, 3 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Where does this classification come from? The species was described as a member of Anseriformes; Clarke et al., 2016 put it inside Anseriformes; Agnolín et al., 2017 writes "In agreement with previous interpretations (Noriega and Tambussi 1995; Clarke et al. 2005), Vegavis is here recovered as belonging to Anseriformes".

Look, I've hand-drawn for Wikipedia before, but however good or bad it was, it at least distinctively resembled the subject at hand. That bird, surely drawn by a child, could be any bird at all. Let's find something better. Or maybe even remove it entirely, if necessary. It's actually worse than nothing, I think. —Kaz (talk) 23:53, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
