We went to the safari yesterday, it was really hot but very fun. We took a wagon ride that you get pulled by a tractor(kyan was in heaven) and then we drove our car through. Ostrich's are quite big and lets just say not pleasant to look at up close. Toward the end, we had this one ostrich wouldn't leave us alone so we couldn't feed the llama's that wanted food, finally another car came and we moved forward and the ostrich went to the other car. We rolled down the windows to feed the llama's. They were pretty tame and relaxed. Then Jen rolled down her windows and she was feeding the llama's, well guess who came back a little too quick for us. Jen was screaming AHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH at the top of her lungs, trying to get her window up, well the darn thing got its beak caught in the windows ase Jen was getting the window up. It tried to shake its head loose, finally the 2nd time it did and then got it out, and left. He got in front of the car and spread his feathers all puffy and kept shaking its head. It walked far away and kept shaking its head like what the heck just happened. We got past the gate and dylan and i got out to throw our buckets back in the basket and the ostrich and we took close ups of him cause now him and jen have an understanding and are best friends.

The little guy looks so big, and I like how he is posing for the camera with his frog boots. I cannot wait to see the little guy again.
i love his frog boots! when he had them on you should have asked him if frog sticks out his long pink tongue and then take a picture with him sticking it out. lol
Hey, I lost the 1st spot today..... Like that sexy leg he's showing, "Hey kid, you need a ride?"
I did hear some shrill up here but thought it was tires screaching. Glad you made friends w/ the bird Jen.
FYI Jen....
Ostriches have been known to reach speeds in excess of 70 km per hour (45 miles per hour), and can maintain a steady speed of 50 km per hour (30 miles per hour).
Ostriches are known to eat almost anything (dietary indiscretion), particularly in captivity where opportunity is increased.
Moral of story... Don't open window at safari because ostrich can catch you quickly and will try to dine on pretty blonde middle-aged females. :) Don't you wish you had checked wikipedia before going to the safari.
