Male ostrich are very different to females - they have black and white feathers instead of brown and they have a red beak and legs while the females are dull greyish/brown. I remember saying to someone one day that this male was looking a bit strange - as he moulted he was growing in brown feathers. Then he lost all his red. And then he started laying eggs!! Apparently it's not uncommon in birds to be hermaphrodite. Well not as uncommon as in other species anyway.
