There is a farm down here that has an Ostrich, stays down by a big pond very seldom comes up to the road, farm also has a Longhorn steer huge animal for a pet……lol
My wife got out of the car to take a picture of the ostrich (or emu?) when it was 50 yards away. It strolled up to the fence, I’m guessing for a snack. Unfortunately we didn’t have one.
You may be lucky. They can hurt people.
Good to know. Thanks
Beat me to it. That beak and neck can strike like a cobra and you're wearing an eye patch the rest of your days. Stay away.
And their claws can absolutely disembowel you
Hopefully, it's an ostrich and when he sees your UGA hat he'll stick his head in the sand, sensing severe danger.
LOL Yeah, it is an ostrich. Emus are brown. So you'd probably be safe'
I moved near Modoc S C in 2016, traveling to N Augusta taking backroads I passed a farm with emus and ostrich along with a few goats. Naturally stopped to observe for a while as I had never seen before. Did not get nearly as close as you.
A couple years later met a man with a virtual zoo, had camels, zebras, kangaroos, an elephant. One day the kangaroos got out an were along the highway, was on the news for a couple of days.
After he passed away in 2020 his children sold off the animals, may have been some of these.
Could be. They were in a large, hilly field so I’m not sure how many or what other animals were there.
Camel story: both my sons were in the GA National Guard while in college many years ago. My oldest son’s unit spent two weeks summer camp in Egypt. On the last day they got to be tourists. He took a free camel ride. At the end of the ride he was told it was $10 to get a ladder to get down.
PS: downtown Modoc or suburbs?
That was probably 10 bucks well spent.
Modoc has population of 100-200, he lived 5-6 miles off Hwy 28 between Clarks Hill S C and Evans Ga. Was quite a scene with deputies trying to round up kangaroos.
Suburbs it is then.
No doubt
You have a much more interesting neighborhood than mine!
