I Can't See with My Head in the Sand (A Riddle)

I am a bird that can not fly
To top of tree, nor in the sky.

I can not sing and do not dance,
And never wear white underpants!

I don't have teeth and don't have hair,
Just feathers on me everywhere.

My legs are long, and fast they run
If danger's near, or just for fun.

And though some think I stick my head
Down in the sand (not under beds),

It surely would be hard to see ...
Now, can you guess what I might be?
