Jungle Mom: Because I want to take a picture of the ostrich.
Yekwanaman: What ostrich? You must be seeing things!

We used to raise ostrich, and they can be hard to see, even among weeds in NW KS!
This is a great picture of a great Ostrich. Sometimes I miss those creatures, but then, I come back to my senses! LOL!
Once a Peacock showed up at our place. I never figured out where it came from, there's nothing for miles around. It made horrible noises and made a mess on the cars. Then one day it just moved on. I never figured that one out.
What a pair of eyes. I knew it had to be there but didn't see. I am sure he was concentrating on his driving with his precious cargo on board!
JM Please to email me a:

Thanks,

How fun!!! I wonder what you'll see next??!!
Why would a person want a guard ostrich?
Not a Rhea ?
Subspecies of Rhea Americana are found in Paraguay.
From Wikipedia, which has photos:
Taxonomy
The recognized extant species are:
* Greater Rhea Rhea americana
R. a. americana, found in campos of northern and eastern Brazil.[5]
R. a. intermedia, southeastern Brazil in Rio Grande do Sul and Uruguay.[5]
R. a. nobilis, eastern Paraguay, east of Rio Paraguay.[5]
R. a. araneipes, chaco of Paraguay to Bolivia and Mato Grosso in Brazil.[5]
R. a. albescens, plains of Argentina south tRio Negro.[5]
* Lesser Rhea Rhea pennata
R. p. garleppi, puna of southeastern Peru, southwestern Bolivia, and northwestern Argentina[5].
R. p. tarapacensis, northern Chile from Atacama to Tarapacá[5].
R. p. pennata, Patagonian steppes in southern Argentina and southern Chile[5].
I driven my an Ostrich farm. I would be surprised if I ever got close enough to take a picture.
It looks quite lovely.
That's hilarious, I wonder if he scares away ladrones!
You know us guys, we always have our heads in the sand...
They could have put up a sign: "Welcome to Africa!"
Hi Rita! we just had the privilege of keeping your kids (Brian & Jackie and girls) during the TCBC Missions conference. We enjoyed getting to know them and feel like we got a little snapshot of you too!
It was an interesting cross between parents and peers!! Hope we can meet you next time you come through.
God Bless. ps. this blog is a GREAT IDEA!
