Ostriches do not fly because their wings are too small for their size, they can weigh as much as 400 pounds. They compensate by being the fastest land bird, they can achieve speeds of 40 mph.
An ostrich cannot fly because it is simply too big. The wings of an ostrich are not strong enough to be able to lift them off the ground. Even if they were to get off the ground, the wings are too weak to let them actually fly.
