So we bought 5 ostriches because kids wanted a few for "eggs" BAD IDEA... i have a fence guy coming out in 6 week to make a special 5 acre pen for them. in the meantime how do you deal with the aggressive males??? This thing attacked me and cut me pretty good on my arm! day away from burgers... but they were not cheap and i wanted to keep one male for breeding the females... thx! Scott

We had an aggressive female follow us around in Africa for awhile (with male in tow behind her). My PH kept throwing sticks and rocks at her until she finally lost interest, but I had my .375 ready in case she came at us.
The only good use for ostrich I know of is boot leather and feathers for burlesque dancers in New Orleans; both of which I fully support.

Shoot them all, turn into burger and steaks, sell meat to hipsters, and with the money, buy emu's. My aunt had emu's, they were awesome. If that thing is willing to attack you, what happens if your kids, or even worse, their friends wander into the pen? I would bet if it was a dog, it may have been neutralized pretty shortly after the attack.
