IUCN · LEAST CONCERN · the world’s largest bird
One Statue. Two Habitats.
The head attaches to the plaque with a hidden magnet — lift it off whenever you like.
On the shelf: Trophy Hall
Mounted on its wood-grain shield plaque with a brass-style nameplate, it reads like a natural-history-museum exhibit — shrunk to the size of your palm.
Off the plaque: Fridge Guardian
Off the plaque, the ostrich’s long neck and wide-eyed stare are guaranteed to make anyone smile on a fridge door.
The common ostrich is the largest and heaviest bird alive, and while it cannot fly, it holds records few animals can touch: the biggest eyes of any land animal, the largest egg of any living bird, and a running speed no other bird can match.
Eyes Bigger Than Its Brain
Each eye is about two inches across, larger than the ostrich’s own brain. From its height of up to nine feet, it spots danger across the open plains long before most predators get close.
Built to Run
Long, powerful legs and just two toes per foot let an ostrich cruise at about 43 mph. A forward kick from those legs is strong enough to drive off a lion.
The Head-in-the-Sand Myth
Ostriches don’t bury their heads in the sand. They lower their heads to turn their eggs in the nest, or lie flat against the ground to hide, and from a distance the head seems to vanish.
The Biggest Egg
An ostrich egg weighs about three pounds, the largest of any living bird, yet relative to the mother’s size it is one of the smallest.
