ostrich skeletons

From
Date
Hello
I am a graduate student working on a project for the University of 
Nebraska State Museum, the project being the mount of an ostrich 
skeleton that will be used for comparative studies (the skeleton 
resembles dinos in alot of ways) I would like to inquire if anyone 
else has been around a full skeletal mount of one of these critters, and if
 so,
I would like to aquire photos of the skeleton.  I have been unable to 
find any good references that deal with ostrich osteology (seems like 
everyone that grows them around here is mainly concerned with sickness
and or feeding problems) If anyone has even a tidbit of information I 
would be glad to hear from you.  Also, if anyone would like 
information on the actual cleaning of an ostrich skeleton I had 
excellent results and would be happy to share the process.

Heres to 300 lb birds!
