ostrich egg
Giant flightless bird's offspring
An ostrich egg is the egg of an ostrich, the largest egg produced by any living bird.
A single egg can weigh over three pounds and has a shell thick enough to support a person's weight.
The shells are sometimes carved or painted as decorative objects: She displayed an ostrich egg on the mantle.
