Ostrich Farm





Ostrich eggs have very thick and "enduring" shells.

Mother ostrich and the baby ostriches.

Do not be mistaken... it's an emu here...

A comparison of the eggs from the different birds. By the way, learnt that the ostrich's eye is even larger than its brain... hm...


Ostrich eggs as deco pieces like lamps...


Ostrich is one of the fastest running birds on earth. It has powerful legs (that each comes with 2 toes). Extremely unlikely that man could outrun an ostrich. We were advised to lie flat on the ground if we see an ostrich runs towards us.
