Dire Wolf 
The asteroid that ended the dinosaurs was technically the highest ratio of killing birds to one stone.

There were not any birds back then.

@charlesrkiss @ADDiane I know it's a joke, but the answer is actually pretty frikkin cool - there absolutely WERE birds, and they looked and acted incredibly like today's birds, living right alongside T-Rexes.

@ADDiane I'd argue a Bird is a dinosaur but a dinosaur isn't a bird.

It's funny because I was just wondering... what if we are wrong and the herbivores didn't die and have also been living alongside us this entire time?

Most people replying to this tweet: "How many birds were there at the K-Pg?"

Me, an asteroid scientist: "Do we call a 10-kilometer-wide pile of rubble one stone or not?"

@ADDiane #actually, the Chicxulub Impactor weighed 10^15 kilograms, or 1.5*10^14 stone.
There would’ve needed to be 300,000,000,000,000+ birds at the time just to have a slightly impressive bird/stone ratio.

@ADDiane Unless we accept the theory that birds have descended from the small number of dinosaurs who actually survived that mass extinction. Then every bird species is a collective Phoenix that has arisen from the ashes of that apocalyptic one stone.
