"Ostrich" and "Dodo"...........probably not a very good marketing
move for a manufacurer to name their airplanes after flightless birds.

In 1951, the Mü10 'Milan' was re-activated from the German Museum in Munich
where the glider had survived the war. Three gliders - a Mü13 reproduction,
the "Spatz" (sparrow) and the "Specht" (woodpecker) - were acquired, later a
Klemm tow plane was added.
