🎉 Quick Quiz
❓ What does the mama ostrich use her wings for, even though she cannot fly?
👉 She spreads her wings to shade her chicks from the hot sun, keep them warm, and protect them from rain — like a big feathery umbrella!
❓ Why do ostrich chicks sometimes swallow little pebbles?
👉 The pebbles sit in their gizzard — a special part of their stomach — and help grind up tough seeds and plants so the chick can digest its food.
