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.

Are ostriches a mammal bird or an amphibian?

Elephants are mammals, ostriches are flightless birds. Mammals are warmblooded vertebrates that, with few exceptions, give birth to live young and feed them milk from mammary glands after birth. The exceptions are the monotremes (the platypus and two species of spiny anteaters) that, like the ostrich, lay eggs. However, an ostrich does not suckle its young.

Cows are typically domesticated for milk and meat production, while ostriches are known for their large size, fast running, and valuable feathers. Additionally, cows are herbivores that primarily graze on grass, whereas ostriches are omnivores that can eat plants, insects, and small animals.
