Ostrich hides its egg underground know the reason behind this

According to the report of ScienceABC, the ostrich hides its eggs in the ground. The reason behind this is that unlike other birds, the ostrich cannot fly. Therefore, it does not make its nest on a tree but by digging a hole in the ground.

Let us tell you that the size of ostrich eggs can be equal to coconut or a little bigger than that. While the weight is more than half a kilo. They dig a hole in the ground only to keep the eggs. According to the report, the responsibility of hatching the eggs is not only of the female but also of the male ostrich.

According to the information, to bring out the babies from the eggs, they have to be given warmth. That is why ostriches make holes in the sand and put their eggs in them. After this, they keep turning the eggs by putting their head in these holes, so that the egg can get heat from all sides and the baby can come out of it.

A single ostrich egg is the same size as more than a dozen hen eggs. The babies come out of these eggs after 42 to 45 days. Until the babies come out of the eggs, the ostrich checks them several times by putting its head in the ground. While doing this, the onlooker feels that it has hidden its head in the ground.

Ostrich eggs are the largest among all the other birds. Although humans include ostrich eggs in their diet like chicken eggs, they are not easily available and their price in the market is very high.
