What is the difference between an owl and ostrich?

Answer 1

An owl can fly and a ostrich cannot. An ostrich is much bigger than an owl. And owls are nocturnal and turn their heads around. An ostrich digs up a hole and puts its head under the ground. And that's the difference between an ostrich and a owl.

Answer 2

Well, believe it or not but an Owl is a nocturnal bird with large forward facing faces, hooked beak, forward facing eyes and a loud call. The advantage of the owls flat face is that it 'funnels' the sound through into the ear letting it hear 10 times better than humans. Owls populate all around the world expect for Antarctica there are 150 - 220 different species of owl known to man.

Whereas an ostrich is the largest known bird in the world. Ostriches cannot fly but they are built to be able to run, Ostriches can run up to 43 miles per hour on a sprint and they can maintain 31 miles per hour. There specially adapted wings help them to maintain balance when running. But there are other advantages to there wings for example to shelter their young from rain or sun under these wings, they are also used for communication 'wooing'.

As you can see there is actually a big difference! Hope this helped answer your question.
