Yep! That's what makes a ratite a ratite. A large flightless bird with a flat, keeless breastbone. . If you want to know what they use their wings for I can tell you that too.

Why not, we have a lot of time to kill waiting on this hatch. I'm a sponge for new facts!

It would be so good to get more than one. Daryl had to make do with chickens for companions. A trio would be fantastic!
