The largest bird in the world is the ostrich(鴕鳥). The ostrich mostly lives in Africa. It has a small head and a long neck. Its feathers are grey, black or brown. The feathers on its small wings are very soft, so it can’t fly in the air. When an ostrich is big and old enough, it is more than two metres tall.

In the daytime the mother ostrich often sits on the eggs. It isn’t easy to find her and her eggs because she puts her neck and head down on the sand, but there is lots of danger for an ostrich to live on the ground. It must be careful all the time. Luckily, the ostrich has very good eyesight and hearing, so it can find danger in time and run away. It can run as fast as a car. The claws(爪) of the ostrich are very sharp and strong. They are like knives. The ostrich can kill other small animals with its claws. The ostrich eats a lot and it can eat anything growing in the sand.
