Ostriches on average are taller and heavier than a young human. The diet of an ostrich consists of a lot of plants. Some of these include grass, flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds and roots.

Newborn ostriches are precocial, meaning they are well-developed and can feed themselves. They leave their nest at just three days old. After four months, they become independent. Ostriches make their nest on the ground, since their eggs are big. In fact, they are so big that 24 chicken eggs could easily fit in just one ostrich egg.

There are many different species of ostriches, including emus, southern cassowaries, kiwis, and greater rheas. Interestingly, ostriches are birds that cannot fly, yet can run very fast, up to 44 miles an hour. Ostriches can be really dangerous to people who get near them.

Ostriches are interesting and strong birds. If you ever get a chance to see an ostrich, remember to stay back!
