Ostrich Runs Free on Saudi Arabia Streets
the daily dish
Not quite a public menace, not quite a deer crossing, but definitely a roadblock: a confused ostrich somehow ended up on the streets of Saudi Arabia this week. According to The (U.K.) Guardian, this footage was taken in the town of Abha, where a driver managed to capture the bird's unusual course. Exactly how the animal ended up caught in traffic in unknown, but some believe the ostrich escaped from a nearby farm. While the unusual sight did cause some gridlock, neither man nor ostrich were hurt during the strange episode.

BIG BIRD was looking pretty tuckered and was even hit by one of the MANIACS chasing him. Evidently animal welfare is not universal. What a great shot of two legged POWER!
hahahahahahah. I have this friend named sarah who has a really long neck and blond hair. She has big blue eyes and we compared her to an ostrich. I think the ostrich is adorable. PEACE OUT HOMIES : )
