I used to help my mate work has bees in an apiary with an ostrich. We always had a broom for protection and didn't use a smoker until the ostrich had been stung enough that he gave up. Those things are dangerous. One broke my friends mums ribs kicking her through a deer fence. There is still the odd large egg kicking around the farm but the ostriches are gone thank goodness.
my neighbour down the rd was given an ostrich.
his name was " Mr bloody ostrich " and he had had many owners.
i was scared of that ostrich .
one day he got out and ran around the mudflats causing all the traffic to stop and look.
he was eventually killed by one of my neighbors dogs .
i was scared of that dog too.
