Funny idea, but lot of these seem off.

- A chicken egg is taller than 5cm.

- I would say a tulip is bigger than a phone.

- The okay hand sign says it's 21 cm.My hands are larger than average, but definitely smaller than 21cm.

- A duck isn't bigger than a goat.

- An elephant is smaller than a house.

I think some measurements are widths and some are heights.
I think they're actually all by height, and if you google them the OP actually matches up. e.g. googling

"duck height": 20 – 30 in (51 – 76 cm)

"goat height": 16 – 23 in (40 – 58 cm)

Maybe it would be better to do them by mass.

A little unfortunate if they just used the automatic Google info results. The duck one is the Indian Runner duck - a Mallard would make more sense per the emoji.
Is your mouth height 15cm/6in?
I'm curious how he determined that fire is 40cm
Obviously didn't measure a California wildfire...
The one that most confused me was lips bigger than the heart
