You can start with black for the body, white for the wings and tail, and light pink or tan for the neck and legs. But don’t stop there.

What is an Ostrich?

The ostrich is the biggest bird in the world and also the fastest on land. These giant birds can grow up to 9 feet tall (2.7 meters) and weigh more than 300 pounds (135 kilograms). They can't fly, but they use their strong legs to run up to 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour). Ostriches have fluffy feathers, long necks, and giant eyes that help them spot danger from far away. They live in the dry, open lands of Africa and eat plants, seeds, and small insects. Their powerful legs are not just for running. They can also kick to protect themselves. Ostriches live in groups called herds and lay the largest eggs of any bird, each one about the size of a melon.
