Rhea
Rheas are distantly related to Ostrich and Emus. Rheas are flightless birds found naturally in South America. Rheas are large, with gray brown plumage, long legs, and long necks, similar to an ostrich. They spread their wings when running and the wings will act as a sail. Rheas tend to be silent except when they are chicks or seeking a mate. The male makes a nest for the female to lay her eggs and then the male will incubate from 10 – 60 eggs. The male will protect the nest charging anything, including the female rhea if they get close. The male teaches the young how to forage for food.
