Which is the largest flying bird?

wonderful birds.

they never come to land only for breeding..

Lucky enough to have seen albatross on the Galapagos islands. Truly stunning birds that pair for life. When they meet up in the breeding season they have a ritual including bill knocking and a 'song/bonding chatter'. Masters in the air, but a little clumsy landing and taking off, they have to have a few running steps before lift off.

don't think I've ever seen these

3.5m !!! wow 👌

Largest by size or largest by weight? The Dalmatian Pelicans median weight is 11.5kg, and large males can exceed 13kg. The authors of some questions need to think more about the description they are setting out.
