Birds again, but exotic ones.  Ostriches are very at home on the open savannahs of Duba Plains.

Here's a group of young males.  During the breeding season their legs will be quite pink.  It's really true that the males incubate the nest at night and the brown females during the day so they won't be seen as easily.  They do look like bushes in the distance if they are sitting on the nest.

A handsome pair!

That myth about hiding your head in the sand like an ostrich got started by seeing them grazing with their heads down.

Truckin'...........

They still remind me of ballet dancers.

A female with young.  It's common for several pairs of ostrich to keep their babies together for easier protection.  It's called a crèche.  We once saw a group with eight adults and over forty young of various ages.  I just noticed that these are all two by two in this picture--their mother must have told them to buddy up and hold hands while crossing this area.
