Fastest Land Bird
Despite weighing a massive 300 lb, standing a mighty 8 ft tall, and only having only two toes on each foot, the ostrich (Struthio camelus) can shoot across the African savannah at up to 45 mph, making it the fastest bird on land. There are 10 species of flightless birds, including ostrich, emu, rhea, and kiwi. They never leave the ground because their smooth breastbones do not have a "keel", which supports flight muscles. Ostriches' legs are incredibly strong, and these birds will always defend themselves feet first. According to some experts, an angry ostrich can kick a hole in a car door!

Fastest Bird (land)
North African ostriches are both the fastest bird on land—running up to 45 miles per hour—and the biggest, weighing in at 345 pounds.

They Plymouth Rock Rooster that is in the back of my Ferarri. It is moving at over 200 MPH. Actually, the ostrich has been clocked at 30 MPH. It can really scoot.

Probably a road runner.....maybe an Ostrich because of the longer legs.

I believe it is the Ostrich.
But you should see my blue and gold macaw run across the floor to try to bite people he hates. He'd give the Ostrich a run for its money.
