Have you ever been greeted by a six foot, female ostrich from Africa? Or maybe other large, flightless birds like the rhea and emu? You can experience this at the 400 acre Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch near San Antonio. This ostrich’s acute eyesight sees your vehicle entering the Massai Savanna section. Then those long, bare legs and two-toe feet can propel her at over 40 m.p.h. These allow her to be the first to arrive at your car window. She expects to be feed a treat that is included in your admission ticket. I photographed this bird sticking her head into the sunroof of a BMW and grabbing a bag of food out of a young boy’s hand.
