Before, during and after breeding season the bird will not enjoy your company, they are the biggest and run faster than all the birds on the planet, approximately 70 km/hour.
Ostrich will protect themselves using their legs with a direct or side swipe ripping you open, as they would a lion when confronted.
Most times we have seen them they are shy, on Ostrich farms some farm hands learn to ride/race them knowing their temperament or age. Breeding areas are well fenced so as to protect visitors to the large farms.
These two were in a Nature Reserve brought up in the wild, an area where you may not get out of the vehicle.
yes, I've seen on YouTube when he was chasing people at the zoo, you can see from his legs he's very strong. you can imagine when he kicked something.
Double your weight and double our speed I would not like to meet an angry Ostrich!
maybe I also don't dare to meet😁
