I loved watching the Ostriches. How sad it was when they both died. about this time last year. The female died first, of a leg injury received while being treated for a fungal infection. Two weeks later Ozzie the male was euthanized after suffering leg and head trauma in a fall into a water tub. Perhaps he missed his mate.

I couldn't believe my eyes today - there was a new ostrich on the Savannah, checking out her surroundings from inside a temporary canvas compound. A keeper told me that yes indeed, the Zoo has 2 new ostriches who are currently being acclimated to their new surroundings. Hooray!
