If you look awhile at the little students' art you begin to see a storyline for the ostriches. The birds start off cautiously, and one surreptitiously hikes up his sagging pantyhose.
They settle into the march, ready to go a long distance over the parched grassland of Africa.
Some are afraid of their shadows. Others are more bold and confident.
Getting up to full stride, one runs like crazy. Others do chest bumps, endzone victory displays, and the knee-swapping move of the Charleston.
Male ostriches have black and white feathers. Females have brown and gray. All of them have fabulous long eyelashes.
