Ostrich belongs to the mode of marriage of multiple males and females. About a week after mating, the female begins to lay eggs. Usually one egg is laid every other day or two, until there are 12-16 eggs in the nest, and the hatching is carried out alternately by male and female ostriches. The incubation period is 40-42 days. The nestling is precocious. The sexual maturity is 3 years old, and the life span is 60 years.
