ostriches don't wear scarfs per se. They wear leg warmer.

Bottom

When we put a scarf on it settles to the base of the neck

If we tied it tight enough right below our chin to never slide down we'd pass out

Between this one and the one yesterday about a dinosaur in a guillotine, Lemmy is asking all the necessary questions about animals with long necks and small brains 😂

The width of a scarf matches the height of a human neck, so a scarf for an ostrich would look closer to a blanket. That or a tube sock.

Edit: I just realized, given the length of the ostrich and relative proportions, a human scarf would be closer to a decorative necklace ~~or choker.~~

I would say the top. A lot of important organs like tonsils are there which can get hurt when people get cold. but the best way would probably still be just wrapping their entire neck somehow.

they just put the scarf vertical

The one on the right is the bottom. Left one is top.

They join two or three scarfs along the length to form a long tube and wear that instead
