Description
An impressionist painting of an Ostrich in a field of blue poppies. This quirky ostrich was painted with a palette knife for a feathery texture. A fun quirky animal painting for kitchen decor, nursery, or kid's room.
Ostriches are similar to emus, but there are a few differences. Emus are about 25% shorter than ostriches and have three toes. The ostrich has only two and is the only bird with two toes. Ostriches are the largest birds in the world and emus, the second largest. The emu has deep brown feathers. During the mating season emu hens grow black feathers on the head and the bare skin on the head turns blue. Male ostriches have black feathers with white on the wings and tails and females have grey brown feathers.
Emus can run up to 30 MPH and the ostrich has speeds of up to 40 MPH. Emus are farmed for their oil, meat and leather and ostriches bred for their feathers meat and leather.
