An animation explains that although the ostrich cannot fly, it has good eyesight and can run fast to evade predators. Sam, a young tortoise, is alarmed by a huge bird which flies overhead. Grandad Charlie tells him a story about ostriches. A mother ostrich had a nest of eggs. An egg went missing and rolled into the nest of a guinea fowl. When it hatched, Ollie the ostrich was different from the other chicks. He grew bigger, had messy feathers and a long neck. Ollie's feathers were too small to fly. However, Ollie could run really fast and had great eyesight. Eventually Mother guinea fowl realised Ollie was an ostrich and took him back to his real mother. Ollie's mother told him that a long time ago ostriches could fly but as they became bigger, they couldn't get off the ground, so they had to learn to run fast instead.
