Are these not the feckers that have massive claws and can seriously damage you with a kick?

Radio Sheffield interviewed an expert on these things. He warns that the bird has species recognition problems and, if it sees you, it might try to shag you.
Anything that moves or breathes is fair game, it seems.
Now, this thing is 6 feet tall and has a todger that's 12 inches long and shaped like a corkscrew.
If you see it, you can't outrun it, so it might be an idea to brace yourself, shut your eyes and ponder where you might buy some ointment and eye drops.
BBC News reports that a brave volunteer has come forward to track it down. Anything that moves or breathes is fair game, it seems.

"But when officers arrived they could do little but sit and watch as the bird, which can reach speeds of 40mph, raced past."http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2906697/Rh...
They need a Stinger....
I rode an Ostrich once, in South Africa. Just me and a large bird. They covered it's head with a sack, and brought the bird to the edge of a fenced off area. I climbed up the fence, and then crossed my legs around the chest and held on to the wings (IIRC).
The guides then lifted the sack from the head, and off we went!!! When we reached the corner of the field I was able to slide off the back of the bird and return to our group - Mrs Puggit was wetting herself too much to record the event for posterity
