They like to gather in groups, usually 10-15 birds, and when there are chicks and young birds the number can reach 40-50.

Food</strong></span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Their diet is very omnivorous, but it is mainly based on plant stems, leaves and fruits, especially flowering shrubs, parasitic creeping plants, ground-trailing cucurbit plants and wild figs. They also eat insects, mollusks, small reptiles, birds and mammals, and at the same time swallow some sand grains to help digestion. Interestingly, nails, coins, bottle caps, string and even diamonds and other miscellaneous items can also be found in their stomach and intestines.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">The African ostrich has a high conversion rate, and artificial breeding can bring good economic value.
