Ostrich Ranch and the Waterfront...Cape Town

The Hung junior clan...mmm love us all so much..
What? Where?Who?Ha? hehehe...There lor...no there! Ai yo....hahhaha
Family portrait at the V&A Waterfront...it was awesome
this is an ostrich egg....which would hatch after 42 days and an ostrich fetus,preserved in formalin
An ostrich skeleton: with a brain weighing 40 g, and a body of 150 kgs, an ostrich had 19 vertebrae,and it had a v strong breast skeleton that served as a protector. Oh, its eyes were larger than its brain..so seriously, you would not want an ostrich brain..
Our in-house lunch which was none other than ostrich meat...with chicken, kebab and homemade soup+bread..sorry mr ostrich...
Mummy feeding the Mr.Ostrich corn....they also ate pellets ( grass + corn) and calcium supplements to strengthen their poor bones...
Fabz and Rachel at the entrance to the Ostrich Ranch
Hail the Ostrich egg...do not underestimate the weight it could bear, a whooping 150 kg!!
hehhe.....posing with the ostrich
Outside the ranch
Are these ostriches? Pls do not be mistaken, these are the emus, which are slightly smaller than the ostriches but mind you, their beaks are way sharper and they can potentially bite off your finger
Strolling slowly past us, this is Mr.Ostrich
