"Bird" is the object of the preposition "of". This is a compound sentence with "ostrich is species" and "ostrich lays egg" being the pair of subject - verb - direct/object simple sentences joined by the conjunction "and".
The first direct object, "species: is modified by the prepositional phrase "of bird" composed of the preposition "of" and its object "bird". The second direct object "egg" is modified by the prepositional phrase "of any bird" which comprises a preposition ("of" again), its object ("bird" again) and an adjective ("any").

Object of the preposition is - the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition
Preposition - words, such as about, before, during, through, etc., used in a phrase that relates a noun or a pronoun to another word in the sentence
I would say Bird is the object
