No. Ostriches are in the bird family.
Ostriches are very large birds which, along with the emu (an Australian bird), are the biggest birds. Ostriches aren't mammals because they don't have fur like other animals and and they don't have teeth like mammals have too. Nor do they feed their young on mothers' milk.

What kind of animals live with ostriches?
Ostriches live in Africa, in deserts, savannas and mountainous regions, as well as dense brush and open woodlands. For protection, they often congregate with grazing mammals such as zebras and some antelope species. They are also found living with giraffes and elephants. Not only do these mammals flush out food for ostriches, they also provide an early warning system. When there is a predator such as a lion, ostriches use their forward-facing eyes to spot the predator before sprinting off at 45 miles per hour. Ostriches have keen vision, and that helps with the senses of smell that the graving mammals they congregate with have.
