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!
