In answer to the question about what to do with them. Eat them. Their meat is red (not like chicken at all), lean and very tasty. Very healthy for you too. I read an article just last week about foods of the future and ostrich was on the list of healthy foods that need to be utilized more. Also beware of that huge big toe. It can gut a horse with one quick swoop and it's not pretty. My father raised ostrich for years. In answer to the question about what to do with them. Eat them.

One tried to attack my brother-in-law when he was a kid and my husband swears it was the funniest thing ever. Wow — I wouldn’t want to be too close to them but they’re interesting creatures!

Having to fend for themselves and unable to fly away from predatory mammals has made them fearsome competitors. they are, after all, direct dependents of the dinosaurs who probably got their wings burned off trying to hover and navigate through the searing heat of the great comet impact dust cloud. They probably lived their lives in the higher mountains,, until it was save to descend to lower altitudes many generations later. So, from that aspect, you have to hand it to them for their unique survival skills. Ostriches are dangerous birds, indeed.

He seems a bit disturbed and indeed fearful when they charged. Beautiful photography by the way. Keep up the good work.

My dad kept them at Auburn University and he'd make his students wear helmets when dealing with them because one guy got pecked unconcious. Ostriches are nuts.
