Did this ostrich just lay an egg? Kerala kid's fancy dress act leaves internet in splits | WATCH

A school fancy dress competition in Kerala has become an internet sensation after a young student’s hilarious performance dressed as an ostrich stole hearts online. The event was organised by All Saints Public School in Adoor, where the child’s comical entry quickly became the highlight of the show.

The now-viral video, originally shared on Instagram by user Kailash R, captures the child waddling across the stage in a delightfully oversized ostrich costume -- complete with a large beak, flapping wings, and exaggeratedly long legs. To top it off, the child laid an "egg" during the performance, sending the audience into fits of laughter.

In a humorous moment towards the end, the child appeared to struggle with visibility due to the large costume, prompting a teacher to step in and guide him safely off stage.

Kailash R also shared a behind-the-scenes video showing how the costume was made, adding to the online buzz. Since being posted on 12 August 2025, the original clip has amassed over 28 million views, more than seven lakh likes, and thousands of amused comments.

Social media users couldn’t get enough of the performance. “Definitely her father's idea,” joked one user, while another wrote, “Give him an Oscar and that should be big size.” Many viewers demanded to know whether the child had won first prize, with one commenting, “Please tell me this child got the first prize!”

The video has been widely praised as one of the most entertaining fancy dress performances in recent memory, with several users calling it an “instant classic”.
