A Medical Bird Of Epic Proportions
The worlds largest, fastest, heaviest bird
The worlds largest, fastest, heaviest bird. Featured in hundreds of films, usually for comic relief, and referred to as Llamas in Dude, Wheres my Car? The ostrich is a wonderful bird, known to reach speeds of up to 60.6mph, standing as tall as 9ft, and weight anywhere up to 290 pounds. The heavyweight champion of the bird world has only one down fall. Despite their wing span of anything up to 7 feet, this super speedy bird is incapable of flight.
Despite the fact they cannot fly, these huge birds are full of things that can help many different problems. Especially medically. From their skin, to their meat, and the oils that can be taken from the birds, ostriches are truly wonderful discoveries for the world of pharmaceuticals. And because the ostrich is such a large bird, for all ostrich farmers all over the world, they are guaranteed a very nice amount of produce from one single bird. This makes ostrich farming a prestigious and rewarding job.
Despite the large stature of the worlds largest bird, their meat is actually some of the best in the world. Where you would expect that the heavier the animal in life, the heavier eating its meat would make you, the ostrich disproves this greatly. For every three ounces of meat, the ostrich contains just 20% of the calories that can be found in pork, and a tiny 0.5% of the fat that pork contains. This means that you could eat 15 ounces of ostrich, and its calories total would only just be equivalent to that of 3 ounces of pork. The best thing about ostrich meat is that it can be used just like any other meat. If you are craving a steak, but want a healthier option, then you can have an ostrich steak. Of course, the taste of the ostrich will be different to that of cow, chicken, or any other meat, but because of its healthier proportions it is worth getting used to.
Ostrich eggs are also excellent for meal times. Whilst higher in calories when the equivalents are added up to hens eggs, the pros of having such large eggs handy outweigh the cons. One average sized ostrich egg 15cm long, 13cm wide and 3.1lbs heavy is the equivalent to 20-25 average hen eggs. If you have a large family, one ostrich egg may be a lot easier and a lot cheaper to scramble up than two dozen hens eggs. This means that meal times can become a lot easier. They are also unique and wonderful ideas for dinner parties, especially with a large amount of attendees. You can entertain your guests with ostrich facts as they dine on ostrich omelette, and they will marvel at how you fed so many people with just one egg.
No part of an ostrich is left unused by the ostrich farmers, as they recognise the potential of the full body when it comes to the help that the ostrich can offer. Ostrich oil is taken from the ostriches, and used for many different purposes. Ostrich oil is not very widely used, however it has been used for a very long time. It is reported that Cleopatra used ostrich oil in her skin regime, in order to give herself a smooth and beautiful complexion. Many people now use ostrich oil for this very same reason. It is also known to help eczema, acne, pimples, and a great many other skin problems. This makes ostrich oil incredibly helpful for teenagers, especially the fashion conscious teenage girls whom wish for the flawless complexion that usually is only offered with extensive Photoshop knowledge.
Of course, this is all of the inside of an ostrich. The oils, meat, and egg. What of the casing of the ostrich? Not even this goes to waste. The leather and the feather of the ostrich is regarded highly. Ostrich feathers are famed to be incredibly soft, and so they are used in pillows, quilts, and a numerous amount of other soft furnishings like that. The occasional couch or bed may also be made with ostrich feathers featuring in it, as they are such beautifully soft feathers. Their supple and soft feathers are highly sort after, and are one of the main reasons why they are farmed. Ostrich leather, much like their feathers, also has the bonus of being incredibly soft. It is supple, too, and lasts very well. This makes ostrich leather very popular for high fashion boots and shoes. The ostrich is useful in life, and after it, benefiting humans in a multitude of ways.
