The babies are just so cute! I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ostrich baby! The adults are such odd birds, yet I think we all find them completely fascinating! Great to see them as a family! 🙂
Thanks… the babes are the most wonderful bird to try and raise….and I have successfully raised 100 s… but their learning curve is the most difficult to teach… they are not like other birds that seem to know what they want to eat… these things eat anything they see, including my cell phone and sun glasses…
I am charmed by ostriches. There is something about that face of theirs–so goofy. But I wouldn’t want one chasing me down or nipping at me!
Had that many a time with raising them within a contract I had… actually a lot of fun…
I bet!
The romance bloomed into something even more beautiful. It’s fun and exciting to to see the young ostriches, discovering the world and all. Great post!
Yes and so small to begin and then to become such huge birds… wonderful…
They are so cute. I’ve never seen one in real life but these are pretty cute.
That they are… and so small to so big in a very little time…
So cute 🙂 I still like them, even tho one bit me at the age of 3 😉 Me: “Daddy, do they bite?” He: “No, you can put your finger through the fence..”..Well, thanks Dad 😉
I raised hundreds of these babies… they bite… they swallow cell phones and dark glasses… I can’t remember all that they stole out my pockets and swallowed… ears nose everything got bitten… I still love them though..
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH….SOOOOOOOO cute! 🙂 🙂
Aren’t they just… raised so many of these in my time… yet I still find them fascinating….
these are wonderful! that last one is amazing, they are so adorable and tiny!
They are so small yet within a short time the are as big as mommy and daddy
Now this is a sight I’ve never seen!
and it is one worth seeing in the bush…
the young ones looks quite big and you probably have wonderful stories of them to share..a very interesting post
Thank you… I have so many stories about raising young ones…
That bottom pic is just soooo sweet!
Thank you… they are so cute
They are just beautiful! Wow 🙂
Lovely little things that grow up to be so big…
Too cute!
They are… and to think such a small chick reaches such a height… as a part of a contract I had, for four years I looked after and raised young ostrich which where then sold… it was a fascinating time and they were such fun to work with… I have so many stories of being chased by breeding adults… and raising the young.?? well I could fill a book with them… loosing a cell phone down the neck of one, dark glasses being taken off my head and swallowed… crazily wonderful times…
Oh my….the vision is making me laugh. If you ever write a book, put me down for a copy. You’ve lived too colorful a life not to write about 🙂
Well I have 100 000 words down all ready and can’t seem to find and end… but that will come with rewrites and edits…its all about my bush life and such like the raising ostrich etc…
I have just finished a technical document of 120 000 words and it is now published and ready for sale… so one day soon I hope to finish off the book on my life…
Oh I love these!!!!
