Ostriches tend to be more social, often forming large flocks to help with protection from predators. Found in the savannas and deserts of Africa, these birds rely on their size, speed, and powerful legs to stay safe.

Emus, on the other hand, are more solitary, though they sometimes form loose groups when food is abundant. They thrive in the varied environments of Australia, from forests to grasslands.
