      In a zoo I’ve seen ostriches. I’m over 6 foot tall and they’re bigger than me! They can be way taller than 6 foot. I’ve also stood beside the skeleton of extinct Moa birds from New Zealand – they we were over 9 foot tall. Huge! The biggest bird I’ve actually caught for research was a Mute Swan in Dublin. They’re very strong!
