So, what do ostriches eat? Everything except manners. A salad of grass and roots, spiced with pebbles and gravel, topped with the occasional insect or dead mouse. They are the ultimate recyclers. If you ever see an ostrich staring at your picnic basket, don’t feel flattered. It’s not admiring you. It’s calculating whether it can swallow your Tupperware whole.
And next time you’re at the zoo, remember: you are looking at a creature that is part bird, part dinosaur, and part garbage disposal unit. They live on a diet of leaves, love, and small rocks. Respect the ostrich. And maybe hide your car keys.
