Life-Size Model Ostrich

Big Bird

Our Life Size Model Ostrich is a great example of the largest living flightless bird. Like his living counterpart, he is distinctive in appearance, with a long neck and legs.

The distinct standard markings of a dark body, white neck and cream legs on the bird ensure that it stands out.   

Flightless birds like ostriches are the easiest to take care of in captivity because not only do they not have to be caged, but obviously cannot suffer from bird flu...

This fibreglass model has similar requirements ; it has no need to be penned up; and cannot even catch a common cold..... it does however like an audience...

Ruffling Ostrich Feathers

There is a great depth of body to this ostrich model, along with a fine plumage on the tail and strong legs anchored by two rather large feet. It also has individual markings on the various areas of the bird`s body.   

The bird is extremely strong and durable.

Security and Stability

During production, metal rings or "lugs" are inserted into the mould under each foot. This  ensures that the ostrich model is afforded greater stability. Should the standing surface be on soft ground, then metal tent pegs can be used to fix it down. If however the ground is hard, or a wooden base is preferred, then bolts or screws can be used. This also provides greater security.

It should be noted that it is relatively simple to ensure the fixings are discreetly hidden.

Top Class Birds 

The Ostrich stands around 190cm high. 

These models are high quality and durable. The detail & modelling of these sculptures is superb. If looked after, these models will give you & your customers endless pleasure for many years to come. We recommend that all models which are going to be used outdoors be given a protective coat of exterior varnish or clear lacquer.

"You don`t think we`ve gone over the top with this camouflague look Mary ? "

"Of course not Barbra, a girl`s got to get dressed up now and again; especially if we`re two birds on the pull - by the way love your outfit.....!"
