Biography of an Ostrich is one of several books in the Nature Biographies series. Told in a story format we learn about a father ostrich and the three hens in his family who live on the African veld. Little Ozzie, one of the baby chicks hatches and we follow his days in Africa, until he becomes a father ostrich as well.

If you would like more history on the ostrich or anatomical information, I recommend Herbert Zim's book, Ostriches. It has been recently reprinted.
