Common Ostrich (Struthio camelus)

Tanzania, July, 2016

After seeing the world's smallest bird, the Bee Hummingbird in Cuba in February 2016, it was great to go to the other extreme and see an Ostrich in the wild a few months later on our trip to Tanzanaia.

A few more of our ostrich pics:

• You looking at me?
• An ostrich looking at caracals
• The ostrich doesn't like what he sees and puffs up his neck

We've felt a special connection to this big bird ever since cooking one to celebrate the Millenium. See: 31 December, 1999 - Millenium Ostrich
