The Ostrich is a legendary pet introduced in the Summer Update of Grow a Garden on June 21, 2025. Known for its unique appearance and powerful passive ability, the Ostrich is highly sought after by players looking to accelerate pet growth and farming efficiency. It is one of the five pets available from the Paradise Egg, which is a limited-time egg introduced during the Summer Harvest event.

Appearance

The Ostrich’s appearance is distinct compared to most other pets. It has a long, elegant neck and slightly elongated legs. The pet features two wings and a puffy tail at the back. Its body is primarily black, with white tips on the wings and tail feathers. The face, neck, and feet are a neutral beige, while its face includes two black eyes, a large pale orange beak, and charming pink cheeks, giving it a friendly and approachable look.

Trait: Eggsperience

The Ostrich has a special trait called Eggsperience which grants a bonus age to pets hatched from eggs. This means pets will start off older than usual, effectively speeding up their growth and leveling process. This age bonus can be stacked if you have multiple Ostriches active at the same time, allowing for even faster pet development.

Trivia and Mechanics

• There was a bug in earlier versions where the Ostrich did not increase pet weight according to level, which affected how pet stats were calculated since some stats depend on weight. This bug has been fixed in subsequent updates.
• The maximum age bonus an Ostrich can provide per hatch is capped at 10. This means leveling up the Ostrich beyond this cap or hatching Giant variants for further bonuses is not efficient.
• However, you can stack the age bonuses from multiple Ostriches to surpass this limit. For example, having 8 maxed Ostriches equipped can grant an age bonus of up to 80, allowing you to instantly hatch pets at very high levels.
• The Ostrich also contributes a ×4.66 farming multiplier, making it an excellent choice for players focusing on automated farming and resource collection.

How to Acquire the Ostrich

The Ostrich is exclusive to the Paradise Egg, a special egg available only during the Summer Harvest event in the Summer Egg Shop. This egg has a low spawn rate of 7%, so obtaining it requires some patience or luck. Once you acquire a Paradise Egg, hatching it gives you a 40% chance to receive the Ostrich. Because both the egg and the pet have relatively low chances, obtaining an Ostrich is considered quite rare.

Players can also choose to buy the Ostrich directly from the Pet Eggs shop for 50 million Sheckles or 139 Robux if they prefer to skip the randomness of hatching.

What Does the Ostrich Do in Gameplay?

When you equip an Ostrich, any pet you hatch from eggs will receive an age bonus that ranges between 1 and 4.66 levels added to its age immediately. This allows the pet to grow faster and reach higher levels sooner, which in turn makes them more effective in farming and other activities.

Additionally, the Ostrich provides a ×4.66 multiplier to farming output, making it a valuable support pet for players who focus on farming crops or gathering resources automatically. This combination of speeding up pet growth and enhancing farming makes the Ostrich a powerful asset in your pet collection.

If you’re eager to enhance your gameplay and speed up your progress in Grow a Garden, obtaining an Ostrich is one of the best investments you can make. Whether you choose to hatch Paradise Eggs or directly buy Grow A Garden items like the Ostrich from the Pet Eggs shop, having this legendary pet will give you a significant advantage in farming and pet development.
