Common Ostrich
5 sections
The Common Ostrich is the world’s largest and heaviest bird, instantly recognizable by its towering height, long neck, and powerful legs. Native to Africa, ostriches have been introduced to Australia, where they are now found mainly on farms and in wildlife parks, with some feral populations having existed in the past. Their sheer size and unique silhouette make them unmistakable in any landscape.
