Definition of ostrich in English English dictionary

A large flightless bird (Struthio camelus) native to Africa

{n} a large bird with elegant fethers, and wings too short for flight

A large bird of the genus Struthio, of which Struthio camelus of Africa is the best known species

fast-running African flightless bird with two-toed feet; largest living bird

a person who refuses to face reality or recognize the truth (a reference to the popular notion that the ostrich hides from danger by burying its head in the sand)

An ostrich is a very large African bird that cannot fly. Two-toed, long-necked ratite (Struthio camelus, family Struthionidae) found in Africa, the largest living bird. An adult male ostrich may be nearly 9 ft (2.75 m) tall and weigh more than 330 lb (150 kg). Males are black, with white wing and tail plumes; females are brown. Ostriches live in flocks of 5-50, usually among grazing animals, and eat plants and an occasional small animal. Roaring, hissing males fight for three to five hens, which lay 15-60 eggs in a communal nest scraped in the ground. The male sits at night; the females take turns by day. One-month-old chicks can run with adults, at 40 mph (65 km/hr). To escape detection, an ostrich may lie on the ground with its neck outstretched, a habit that may have given rise to the notion that ostriches bury their heads in the sand

The adult male is about eight feet high

It has long and very strong legs, adapted for rapid running; only two toes; a long neck, nearly bare of feathers; and short wings incapable of flight

{i} large long-necked African bird that does not fly and has long featherless legs with two toes on each foot; escapist, one who tends to avoid uncomfortable or difficult situations
