They originally came from Africa and southern Asia.  There are 3 or more different subspecies.  Ostriches are members of a group of birds called ratites.  Emus, Rheas, Kiwis and Cassowaries are other species of the same group of flightless birds.  The information about housing and diet requirements for most birds is not very complete; as compared to chickens and poultry that have been domesticated for centuries.  For this reason you will hear many different ways to feed and raise ostriches.   Each area of the country also has its own different requirements for taking care of ostriches.  We are only providing general information within this handout
