They are such cute fluff balls when they are small. Pity that they have to grow up to have such a silly facial expression.

I have seen this before, but had no pics. Thanks for sharing Nan.
Unlike all other living birds, the ostrich secretes urine separately from faeces.
All other birds store the urine and faeces combined in the coprodeum, but the ostrich stores the faeces in the terminal rectum.
They also have unique pubic bones that are fused to hold their gut.
