(AUDIO: Jago & Litefoot & Patsy) After his imprisonment at the Prison, the Twelfth Doctor jokingly renamed Clara Oswald "Clara Ostrich", due to her having a long neck and furthermore claiming that neither of them liked the name 'Oswald'. He then simply referred to her as "Ostrich". (PROSE: The Blood Cell)
- The ostrich is a big really bloody enormous bird which is related to Big Bird but does not live on Sesame Street. It has been surmised, however, that Big Bird's mom probably dallied with an ostrich at some time prior to his conception, given that both his parents are 2" canaries. The ostrich cannot fly. This is punishment for having a large backside, skinny pins for legs and a tendency to stick its head in the ground and leave it there in the hope that nobody can see it.
- Granted, riding a giant bird sounds like something out of a fantasy video game, but the ostrich is large and strong enough to carry a human for a long while, and ostrich racing has become a popular sport in some areas of the world. There are a number of advantages to using ostriches as a mount. Despite being goofy looking, Ostriches are surprisingly tough birds, able to tolerate a wider range of temperatures and able to traverse a much wider variety of terrains than horses, from the chilling winters of Finland to the scalding heat of the Sahara. They are An Ostrich Race. They are also very fast, able to carry a human rider at speeds of 35 m.p.h.
