I was going to say extra wide to cover the entire neck but I already visualized an ostrich doing a hoolahooping motion with it's neck with your extra long scarf. So I guess I'll go with yours... If I ever get to outfit an ostrich.

ostriches don't wear scarfs per se. They wear leg warmer.

I feel like everyone is missing a key detail here.

How are they tying it without hands?

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 16 points 11 months ago

They have servants. They're not big on egalitarianism.

They pick it up with their beak and spin their head a few times obviously.

Bottom

When we put a scarf on it settles to the base of the neck

If we tied it tight enough right below our chin to never slide down we'd pass out

I would say the top. A lot of important organs like tonsils are there which can get hurt when people get cold. but the best way would probably still be just wrapping their entire neck somehow.

A really wide scarf

Between this one and the one yesterday about a dinosaur in a guillotine, Lemmy is asking all the necessary questions about animals with long necks and small brains 😂

The width of a scarf matches the height of a human neck, so a scarf for an ostrich would look closer to a blanket. That or a tube sock.

Edit: I just realized, given the length of the ostrich and relative proportions, a human scarf would be closer to a decorative necklace ~~or choker.~~

Too political

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

they just put the scarf vertical

[–] teranex@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That was gonna be my answer as well. Their necks are so thin that it should be nog problem at all

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Everybody knows that when they get cold they just suck their necks back in.

Bottom. And quite honestly fuck toppers. Fuck them up their stupid topper asses. I will die on this hill. Modern corporate America has shown me. They proved to me that it’s time to fight. Fight for what we believe in. Fight for what we know is right. Thank you totinos pizza rolls - I know that it is a civic mandate to stand up to this injustice.

Bottom. God. Damn. Bottom.

[–] Vamanos@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

All other toppers in this comment thread. I see you. I see you for what you are. Weak. Topping has killed so many brain cells that I envy you. You probably let all that fake news dictate how you consider ostrich scarves. Do not buy into the hype brothers and sisters. Resist!

[–] Kahlenar@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

When it gets cold it does some squats to warm up

[–] SoyaSuki@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

The one on the right is the bottom. Left one is top.

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Top: then it can bend it's neck, the scarf may fall over almost the entire neck. Beside, the base of the neck can be pushed into the feather.

[–] Gbagginsthe3rd@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Damn I wanna try an ostrich drumstick

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 11 months ago

They join two or three scarfs along the length to form a long tube and wear that instead
