'''Ostriches''' are huge, flightless birds that are easily riled, found in [[arid shrubland]]s and [[desert]]s. Male adult ostriches are dark, while young and female ostriches are lighter brown.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify in game}}

== Taming ==
Ostriches can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship.

== Summary == 
{{Pen Animal Note|Ostriches}}

A female ostrich produces {{P|Eggs Per Clutch Average}} [[ostrich egg]] every {{P|Egg Laying Interval}} day when fertilized. Ostriches will not lay unfertilized eggs.

== Analysis ==
Ostriches are one of many egg-laying animals that are inferior to [[chicken]]s. A hen lays {{#expr: ({{Q|Chicken|Eggs Per Clutch Average}}/{{Q|Chicken|Egg Laying Interval}}) / ({{P|Eggs Per Clutch Average}}/{{P|Egg Laying Interval}}) round 2}} eggs for every ostrich egg. While an ostrich egg is worth {{#expr: 0.6 / 0.25 round 2}} chicken eggs, a ''single'' hen remains superior to an ostrich. 3 hens eat less food than 1 ostrich. Hens do not need to be fertilized, which adds a further advantage.

While chickens cannot be found in the wild, the [[dromedary]] is superior to the ostrich. Dromedaries produce more food (in the form of [[milk]]), both per day and per nutrition fed. They are easier to tame, can be ridden on a [[caravan]], and found in all biomes that ostriches reside in. So if dromedaries are available, there's little point in keeping an ostrich pet.

Therefore, ostriches are mostly relegated to hunting fodder and the occasional [[manhunter pack]]. Even then, dromedaries give more food and won't go manhunter.

== Attacks ==
Ostriches have three attacks: scratch (feet), bite (beak), and, less commonly used, blunt (head). In addition to the base damage, the scratch and bite attacks apply a stun for {{Ticks|14}}.
