-However, if you read THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatryma), you'll find out that Anseriformes are related to Diatryma. Geese are a form of Anseriformes. So, perhaps applying the Dire template to a Large-sized Goose is the scientifically closest thing. You'd have to give the goose in question claws, and not webbed-feet, and take away it's ability to fly, however.

Thanks for the input nonetheless, folks. Much appreciated. :)
