Waltz of the Ostrich described by Washington Star
The Washington Star notes the waltzing ostrich as a rapid, circular display with wings spread. A large flock performs a dizzying whirl, with birds darting forward in sequence until the group spins until exhaustion or stumble. Chicks begin young and learn turns with age, adults sometimes breaking legs in falls. The dance appears instinctive even when birds are reared apart.
