The ostrich is the biggest bird in the whole world. It is so big that it cannot fly! But ostriches can run very fast. They are one of the fastest animals on two legs. An ostrich is taller than most grown-ups.
Ostriches live in Africa where it is hot and dry. They have long necks and big eyes. Ostriches lay the biggest eggs of any bird. One ostrich egg is as big as about 24 chicken eggs! That is one giant egg.
