Maybe it's constipated, they normally eat stones with their food to help digestion.

On a side note, ostrich steak..... yum! :p

Male is black with white feathers and female is gray... like with everything, the males are better looking than females and never needs to wear makeup!

It's easy to tell.
Black and white plumage is male.
Dull brown is female.

It has black and white feathers but a pink neck, apparently only the females have a pinkish neck...
 
Haha, your male ostrich is ready to breed... he is looking for a mate - that's why the neck is pink, it will go back to blue or gray when he is over it :D

I sometimes also get a pinkish rash on my neck, I used to think it was from shaving, now I'm not so sure?:confused:
