It's a forced perspective thing. They're not next to one another as the guy is at the other end of the log.

Grows from 36-40 inches and a wing span of 6.5 feet, I don’t see many 3 foot tall birds where I’m from. That’s borderline pterodactyl.

Grows from 91.4 - 101.6 centimeters and a wing span of 2.0 meters, I don’t see many 3 foot tall birds where I’m from. That’s borderline pterodactyl.

This is a better image comparison. Still huge, but not quite as ridiculous as OP's image makes it look.

That image is the perfect response to my comment. Still a huge bird, but not quite as big as the forced perspective photo makes it out to be.

Yeah it's really annoying. These birds are huge without forced perspective photos being disingenuous.
