I was writing about birds and animals, and as everyone knows, the largest bird in the world is the ostrich. The bird weights 230 pounds and stands 7 feet tall. Ostriches are also the fastest species on two legs and can run up to 43 mph. Maintaining a 30 mph pace for ten minutes.
Is there anyone who would like to race an ostrich?

An ostrich running at full speed makes the special effects of seeing The Six Million Dollar Man running at full speed like a slowpoke by comparison.

@RasmaSandra That is true since I have read stories on the internet that ostriches are hard to catch in a foot race.

@Ronrybs as long as the bird was friendly I would not mind meeting one up close

Sometimes they get loose and are hard to catch.

My cousin used to raise Emus but I don't think I have ever seen an ostrich in person.
