Ostriches

Did you ever stop to think what it would be like if parrots got this big?

I think these two gentlemen are having a discussion about territory...

Ostriches are such cool creatures! They look so awkward until they run! The ones I've met have had rather hostile attitudes. Emus on the other hand, they can be very friendly, especially if you bribe them with broccoli.

Is it just me, or does the one at the start look like an AT-ST from Star Wars, with the quite deliberate slow walk?

Allee - I would agree, apart from the nasty one that stole Twisties (Similar to cheese doodles) from me when I was at a sanctuary as a kid here in Australia

I want to hug one!
Looking into ostrich ranches in Ohio...

Omg imagine a rickeybird that size...

Oh Gail, please be careful if you feel you must hug an ostrich! And we'll need lots of video footage!
