We have so many, we have to count; we took them because the owner wanted to put them out. The original plan was to raise them for meat, but he found not many people wanted to eat. Happily, we averted their fate, assuring they won't end up on anyone's plate. These gentle birds are members of the ostrich family known as ratites. They are quite fond of staff and would be fond of you, too, if you could sponsor them.
