How to approach it
Set a working threshold first: a typical adult chicken weighs roughly two kilos, so aim for birds whose adults clearly pass three or four. Then sweep the whole class in size bands rather than trusting whatever names surface: flightless ground runners, long-legged wading birds, bulky waterfowl, the largest hunting birds, heavy ground-dwelling game birds, and the outsized outliers hiding in otherwise modest families. Within each band, commit to a real species or a recognised domestic breed, because an exact name scores better than a loose family label. Finish by checking the mass against a reference figure and dropping anything that wins on wingspan or height alone. Working band by band and then alphabetically mirrors how the official reveal appears to be built and keeps you from stopping at the first plausible name.
Get a hint
Size is comparative, so start from the reference bird's adult weight and climb through the class's heaviest body plans: flightless runners, long-legged waders and bulky waterfowl.
A little more
Then narrow by habitat rather than by memory: marshes, coasts, cold plateaus and tropical canopies each shelter species several times heavier than the reference.
One step further
Finally, commit to one precise name — a full species, a recognised domestic breed or a well-defined regional form — and check adult mass, not wingspan or standing height.

Why these answers count
The scoring splits cleanly into three tiers, and the pattern is precision. The single 100-point answer is a rare, sharply defined species that almost nobody else names, which is what the top of the curve rewards. The 290 answers on 85 points are overwhelmingly exact species or formal breed names — Abbott's Booby, Abdim's Stork, Alagoas Curassow, Amsterdam Albatross — each specific enough to be unambiguous and unusual enough to stay scarce. The 117 answers on 60 points are the ones a crowd reaches for first: familiar family words or common species that many players submit at once, so the rarity bonus shrinks. Nothing here rewards being merely correct; a hen-sized bird list is easy to fill, so the reveal is really a test of how deep into the taxonomic catalogue you can go while keeping the name exact. Add a qualifier, a place-derived epithet or a breed designation, and the pick usually moves up a tier.
