In Real Life
Ostriches are large, flightless birds that have long legs and a long neck that protrudes from a round body. Males have bold black-and-white plumage that they use to attract females. Females, on the other hand, are light brown. Ostriches are bigger than any other bird in the world and they lay the largest eggs of any living bird.

Trivia
- The common ostrich used to share the order Struthioniformes with the kiwis, emus, rheas, and cassowaries. However, phylogenetic studies have shown that it is the sister group to all other members of Palaeognathae and thus the flighted tinamous are the sister group to the extinct moa.
