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!
