Like most other ratites, they have no
preen gland. Their bill is long, pliable, and sensitive to the touch, and their eyes have a reduced
pectin. Their feathers lack
barbules, and
aftershafts, and they have large
vibrissae around the
gape. They have 13 flight feathers, no tail, just a small
pygostyle. Finally, their
gizzard is weak and their
caeca is long and narrow.
