The ostrich, used in an idiom of height and in Ibn Harmah's simile.
As though I were upon a Ḥawshī she-camel, or upon an ostrich hen — that has a lineage among the birds, and he is a male ostrich
and they say to the man of excessive height, "O shadow of the ostrich", and to the bulky arrogant one, "O shadow of Satan".
