Yes, they are. The Ostrich is the largest living species of bird and lays the largest egg of any bird species. The diet of the Ostrich mainly consists of seeds and other plant matter, though it eats insects.

It lives in nomadic groups which contain between five and 50 birds. When threatened, the Ostrich will either hide itself by lying flat against the ground, or will run away. If cornered, it can cause injury and death with a kick from its powerful legs.

The Ostrich is farmed around the world, particularly for its feathers, which are decorative and are also used for feather dusters. Its skin is used for leather and its meat marketed commercially.
