Ostrich -- Can you imagine? (Kenya)

This is a male ostrich, black and white, as opposed to the female ostrich, all brown, below. They are very large birds and are surprisingly pretty!



One day, in the Mara, a group of guides returned to camp with an abandoned ostrich egg. Needless to say it was the highlight of breakfast the following morning! An ostrich egg can make an omelette for about 25 people -- they are huge eggs! I considered it a plus that we were on an early morning drive and missed the ostrich egg breakfast -- Jason, on the other hand, was gutted! He still speaks of missing out on the experience!
