Ostriches are huge, flightless birds that are easily riled, found in arid shrublands and deserts. Male adult ostriches are dark, while young and female ostriches are lighter brown.[Verify]

Taming

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

Summary

Ostriches are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

A female ostrich produces 1 ostrich egg every 3.33 day when fertilized. Ostriches will not lay unfertilized eggs.

Analysis

Ostriches are one of many egg-laying animals that are inferior to chickens. 3 hens eat less food and each hen lays x3.33 more eggs than 1 turkey. An ostrich egg is worth 2.4 chicken eggs, but a single hen outproduces an ostrich for food (let alone 3). Hens do not need to be fertilized, which adds a further advantage.

While chickens cannot be found in the wild, the dromedary are superior to ostriches. 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 14 ticks (0.23 secs).

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
