Welcome to Fast Facts with Reasons for Hope!
I’m Carl Kerby. Have you ever stopped to consider the beauty of an ostrich feather? These sought after souvenirs reached “Plume-blume” height in the19th century when a feather was pound for pound as valuable as a diamond!
Besides fashion design, the feathers of an ostrich tell us a lot about the ostrich itself:
- The females will get a silver shimmer to attract males when the time is right
- All baby ostriches are born fully feathered with a soft brown color to hide among the bushes
- As they mature, males turn black with white edges so they can sit on the nest at night (females turn brown with cream edges to blend in during the day) … this ability to change is remarkable and can only be explained by a Creative God
Check back with us soon as we discover even more on Fast Facts with Reasons for Hope and until then … stay bold!
