Ostrich chicks. Young ostriches (Struthio camelus) on a track. Ostrich chicks are around 25 centimetres tall when born. They grow rapidly,but require care and protection for the first 3 to 6 months. The male usually cares for the newborn hatchlings,showing them what to feed on. The ostrich is the largest bird in the world,and at maturity (2-3 years) it can be over 2 metres tall.
