I have always been impressed by these huge birds with their long limbs and dense plumage, with that erect and pale neck that characterizes them, their friendly face and fast pace. If I had to describe them to a Martian, I would say that it is a large feathered bodoque with very long legs and throat, that although it is capable of running at great speed, with all its wings and being a bird, it does not fly.

The hummingbird flies, the eagle flies, the vulture, the hawk, the yellow-breasted and the stilt fly. The quetzal flies with its enormous tail, the toucan flies with its gigantic beak, and the scarlet macaw flies, and although ugly, the condor flies very high too. On the other hand, the rooster and the hen do not fly either, although they sometimes try, and as we said, the gigantic ostrich does not fly either.

On the contrary, the ostrich has this characteristic and curious attitude driven by who knows what factors, since I know almost nothing about ostriches, which leads the animal to be the one that usually hides its head in the sand without further explanation. For lack of doing it like the others, the flight of ostriches ends up being in a hole, except when it is used as a horse for the exotic experience of riding it. Of course, it lays huge eggs, not that it has them, but we could talk about eggs in another post. An interesting animal is the ostrich. Today I woke up thinking about its flight, although it will always be better to learn from geese.
