The Most Extraordinary Bird You Probably Haven't Met Yet

When most people think of ostriches, they picture a giant bird sprinting across the African plains, fast, funny, maybe even a little wild. But here at Superior Ostrich, we see them differently. We see strength, intelligence, sustainability, and one of the most underrated sources of healthy red meat in the world.

Ostriches are the largest and fastest-running birds on Earth, reaching speeds of up to forty-five miles per hour. Their legs are pure muscle, powerful enough to cover ten to fifteen feet in a single stride. Those same legs make them natural athletes, built for life in open spaces, thriving on plant-based diets and minimal water. In many ways, they are perfectly suited for the planet we live on today—efficient, resilient, and gentle on resources.

What makes ostrich so remarkable isn’t just the bird itself, but the kind of food it provides. Ostrich meat has the rich flavor of red meat but with a nutritional profile that beats almost every other protein out there. It is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, high in iron and protein, and cooks beautifully—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you feeling good, both physically and environmentally.

That is what we mean when we say red meat, redefined. At Superior Ostrich, we are not just raising animals, we are helping people reconnect with food that is better for their bodies and the planet. Every bird on our farm is raised with care, given room to roam, and treated with the respect they deserve. We believe the way animals live directly affects the quality of the food they provide, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Ostriches are curious creatures, too. Spend even a few minutes around them and you will see how social and intelligent they are, peering at you with those big eyes, tilting their heads, watching everything you do. They are gentle giants with real personality, and that is a big part of why we are so passionate about what we do.

So next time you think about red meat, think beyond tradition. Think about where it comes from, how it is raised, and what it gives back. Ostrich is not just a healthier choice, it is a smarter and more sustainable one. It is the future of red meat, and it is happening right here at Superior Ostrich.
