Watch what happens when I let my pet Ostrich out for the first time...

Today the chicks got an introduction to the big wide world that exists outside their pen. They were very curious and eager to explore. And the sheep and camels were very interested in them, too. There was a lot of zooming around from the Emu and a lot of dancing from the Ostriches. It was a fun day!

Not knowing if they were even fertile I placed them in an incubator and turned them 6 times a day for 54 days making absolute certain they were kept at the perfect temperature and humidity. My hard work paid off when both eggs hatched out healthy beautiful chicks. Emus (pronounced ee-mews) are the second largest member of the ratite group of flightless birds. They are the national bird of Australia. Emus are native to Australia and were originally imported to the United States as breeding stock for American zoos.

With spots and stripes and porcupine like backs they don't look much like the adults they become, but who can complain? Their too cute for words. They hail from Africa and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, including extreme heat. Because they're from the desert ostriches are okay with losing up to 25% of their body weight to dehydration before becoming ill. In fact, their Latin name is Struthio camelus, after the camel. Ostriches do not bury their head in the sand, instead when threatened they run- up to 45 miles per hour. Failing that they deliver a powerful forward kick that can easily kill a lion.
