Ostriches are such unique looking creatures!

So are ostriches birds or related to dinosaurs? Wikipedia says though flightless, they are the largest living species of bird. Other research shows they are related to dinosaurs as well!
Size: 8-9 feet tall and 350 pounds, an ostrich can run 35 miles per hour. They can live to be up to 75 years old! Source: OstrichlandUSA.com
Ostriches are native to Africa. Emus are native to Australia.
We enjoyed our visit to Ostrichland (we call it the Ostrich farm) and if you have young children, the farm sometimes suggests they feed a smaller Emu instead (though emus are not that much smaller).
