In proportion to their siae, ostriches are not long-lived birds, and even under the most favourable conditions it is seldom that individuals reach the age of from thirty to forty years, an age frequently exceeded by crows, cranes, parrots and birds of prey. The source of weakness in their constitutions appears to be the digestive system. The proverbial phrase digestion of an ostrich" is a popular misinterpretation of the observation that these birds, like many others, pick up stones, coins, keys and other miscellaneous hard objects, which are retained in the gizzard and no doubt assist in the trituration of food.
