The Masai ostrich (Struthio camelus massaicus), also known as the East African ostrich is a red-necked subspecies variety of the common ostrich and is endemic to East Africa.[2][3] It is one of the largest birds in the world, second only to its sister subspecies Struthio camelus camelus.[4] Today it is hunted and farmed for eggs, meat, and feathers.[5][6]
