Does this Ostrich Look Like a Pincushion or a Rubber Chicken??

Here are some more pictures from Aruba. They are of ostriches from an ostrich farm there. They are really big funny looking birds, and they live at this farm to educate people who come to visit.


Mom said that the guide at the farm told her that the females get really jealous of each other. When one female has a male partner, she will pluck the feathers out of any other female that shows any interest in that male. The male will then start plucking the feathers out of the new female too, just to act like he was supporting his girlfriend!


I think this is so silly! Sometimes I wonder about my animal friends! This does not sound like normal behaviorPlease sign my new GUESTBOOK! http://jbsbigworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/please-sign-my-new-guestbook.html
