What is the length of an ostrich?

Ostriches vary in size, with the males, called cocks, being larger than the females, called hens. The average height of an ostrich is between 1.8 and 2.7 meters (5 feet 11 inches and 8 feet 10 inches), and they typically weigh between 115 and 155 kilograms (254 and 342 pounds). The feathers of an ostrich can add an additional 1 to 1.5 meters (3 feet 3 inches to 4 feet 11 inches) to the overall length of the bird.
