The Animal Crossing franchise has been known for its incorporation of adorable villager companions since its first game. There are a variety of different animal species that can live in player’s islands in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, one of which is the ostrich. In New Horizons, there are ten different ostriches that can live on the player’s island.
With any game that allows players to pick companions, or in this case villagers, there’s bound to be opinions about which animals are the best to keep around and which should be avoided. Many go so far as to construct their own Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager tier list, but in terms of a single villager type, here are the best and worst ostriches in Animal Crossing: New Horizons in no particular order.
Phoebe ostrich quickly works her way into players’ hearts with her sisterly personality. Modeled after a phoenix, Phoebe is one of the many birds in the “ostrich” category that shares no physical similarities with an actual ostrich. She is easy to befriend, given her nurturing personality, and can be very protective of the player character—even offering to fight off anyone giving them trouble. If players are looking for a loyal, caring ostrich to join their island after the Animal Crossing: New Horizons October update, Phoebe is the best choice.
Though Phil’s smug personality should mean he gets along well with many other villagers in AC:NH, that’s typically not the case. His design is inspired by the ring-necked pheasant, and while Phil seems like he would be a cool, interesting addition to player’s islands, he soon proves himself to be an unpleasant nuisance. Players should avoid adding him to their island unless they want an ostrich who gets into prank wars and makes their other villagers cry, making him one of the meanest villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Julia may have a snooty personality, but she’s still fun to keep around on the island. While Julia is a female “ostrich,” more accurately described as a peacock, her plumage is distinctly reminiscent of male peacocks. Her design, coupled with her tendency to strut her stuff year-round, not just at Halloween, has led many players to believe Julia offers some transgender representation within the Animal Crossing series. While this isn’t officially confirmed, it’s nice to see players make these kinds of connections with the game.
While some snooty villagers can still be enjoyable residents of the island, Queenie is not one of them. She’s one of the few “ostriches” that’s actually modeled after the real animal—if they were purple, in this case. Though she’s one of the original ostriches in the Animal Crossing franchise, she just tends to be mean, rude, and not very fun to have around.
Out of all the ostriches, Flora tends to be a fan favorite with good reason. She’s a sweet, peppy villager who’s easy to be friends with and is sure to encourage players to try new spooky DIY recipes. Her design is not modeled after a real ostrich, but instead is modeled after a flamingo. Flora is fun, cute, and always happy to chat with players when she lives on their island. By far, Flora is the best ostrich for players to have on their island.
Cranston is a lazy crested ibis, and one of the few male ostriches found in Animal Crossing. Unfortunately, those are the only interesting things about him. He’s not the worst because he’s mean—he’s just a bit forgettable and a little strange. There’s nothing inherently wrong with him, but when there are other, better ostriches available to have around for the Halloween update, the choice is clear that Cranston should be one of the first to go.
There are ten different ostriches available in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but these are the best of the best and the worst of the worst. Phoebe, Julia, and Flora are worth finding and keeping around, but players can pass on Phil, Queenie, and Cranston.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
