Ostriches cannot fly but they can run extremely fast, hitting speeds of 43 mph (70 kph). In a fight they have a vicious kick that can kill a lion. They are the largest and heaviest birds, females weighing about 200 pounds (91 kg) and males about 250 pounds (113 kg).

Yes they can, an adult can leap over a fence of 1.5 meters...but they tend to be a little dim...the best comparison from an ostrich in the wild is: huge, aggressive think of a velociraptor with the brain of a hammer. In Namibia I heard of farmers seeing cheetahs driving Ostriches in the farming fences to kill them.

No, Ostriches are the Earth's heaviest bird and can't fly. They can run quickly though.

You bet they do so stay out of their way because it's like getting a good kick from a mule and can do bodily harm.
