This image is a vintage postcard featuring an ostrich at Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan.
The common ostrich is the world's tallest and heaviest bird, native to African grasslands and savannas.
Ostriches are flightless but are the fastest two-legged animals on Earth, capable of reaching speeds up to 60 mph (96.6 km/h).
Postcards featuring ostriches at farms or zoos, such as this one, were popular collectibles in the early 20th century.
The male ostriches have striking black and white feathers, while females tend to have duller brown coloring.
