Ostrich egg

Common card · No. 278947

The egg of the ostrich (genus Struthio) is the largest of any living bird (being exceeded in size by those of the extinct elephant bird genus Aepyornis and some moa such as the genus Dinornis). The shell has a long history of use by humans as a container and for decorative artwork, including beads. The eggs are edible but not commonly eaten.
