The Ostrich

"The Ostrich" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".

Oh, did you know the ostrich is the world's largest bird?
It lives in Africa in a small group called a herd.
An ostrich cannot fly; instead, it gallops on two legs.
A female ostrich lays enormous eggs!

Bonus activity: Print out this ostrich coloring sheet for each child and have him or her color it. Explain to children that ostriches are 7-9 feet tall and tower over the average human being!

Giant Pandas

Giant pandas live in China.
They can swim and climb trees, too.
They're black and white and furry
And they love to eat bamboo!
