    How do they know this? How can you tell what an ostrich is thinking, because every interaction I’ve ever had with an ostrich, which is admittedly is limited, has always led me to believe that thinking is not something they do an awful lot of. Mindlessly attacking everyone insight is more their modus operandi

    Ostritches are also some of the most aggressive shits on the planet. They also might be the most deadly.

    My grandfather had ostrich farm, the ostrich would o ly tolerate him if he wore very specific hat. No one else could get near him.

      What did he farm the ostriches for, eggs?

      I grew up on a farm and there was a family in our area and they used to have peacocksz but I’m pretty sure they were just there the visual interest because I don’t think they were actually part of the farm stock. I always assumed that people kept ostriches for pretty much the same reason, because honestly they are pain to deal with. I certainly don’t think I’ve ever really seen ostrich eggs being particularly high in demand.
