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 that's called a herd.
An ostrich cannot fly; instead it gallops on two legs.
A female ostrich lays enormous eggs!

Bonus activity: Print out an ostrich coloring sheet for each child (you can find one at 
raisingourkids.com) and have him or her color it. Explain to children that ostriches 
are 7-9 feet tall and tower over the average human being!

    I didn't think it matched the rhythm at first, but after rereading/singing it, I get it now. It's cute and entertaining for kids.
