Crested ostriches commonly live in the rainforests, savannas and deserts of Africa, and are omnivores, eating grass, seeds and insects. However, due to urban development and agriculture, many crested ostrich populations have lost their habitat and severely reduced their numbers. Currently, the crested ostrich is on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is considered an endangered species.
