Spot the ostrich (not all that difficult!)

An ostrich farm. There were a dozen or so when I approached but they all, except one, ran off at very high speed. This one might have been deaf or old, I suppose, or perhaps just wanted to say hello and have its photo taken!
Please see previously posted image for background.
Additional info, my brother-in-law, who knows the farmer, says that there are 50 ostriches here and that this one is lame and can't run so always stays behind!

How lovely - do they keep ostriches there to sell off as pets or is there another reason they're keeping ostriches?

I gather that ostrich meat is a new 'superfood'.

Lieber Andy,
ich habe deine Aufforderung sehr ernst genommen ;-)
Ich habe den Strauss gesucht und KEINEN gefunden - tut mir leid ;-)
Das abgebildete Tier ist vielleicht deshalb nicht weggelaufen, weil es sich gar nicht angesprochen gefühlt hat ;-)

Es ist nämlich kein Strauß, sondern ein Ñandú.
Die eine Gattung nennt sich "amtlich" Struthio, die andere Rhea.
Die eine lebt in Abrika, die andere in Amerika.

Und genau deswegen wünsche ich dir HFF und ein tolles Wochenende!!

Andy Rodker replied to Albrecht Girle:

I`ve heard of 'rhea' but not the others. I don''t know enough about the subject even to know I know nothing about the subject! But thanks for putting me right!
