Talking Ostrich Attack

Here's a picture of an ostrich that stuck his head in our car, in wildlife park in Texas, needless to say I jumped on my mother in law's lap, when he stuck his head in the window, everyone about fell out of the car laughing. So if you ever feel like carving an ostrich here's a close up of the head.

Good Grief Mel, that's closer than I'd wanted get to 'Big Bird'. Sounds like it was every man/woman for themselves. LOL

I had one knock me to the ground and kick the heck out of me once, when I was a zoo keeper at the Kansas City Zoo. If another keeper hadn't come to my rescue with a rake, it could have been really serious! Incredible birds! You did the right thing, no matter WHAT your mother-in-law says!

Everyone got a big kick out of it after wards. I did get some better pictures if someone needs them.
