  • Carl and Debbie seem to be just fine doing things the old-fashioned way, where's two's company and three's a crowd. Today we make some much needed adjustments.

    Before I retired as an Animal Control Officer for Multnomah County in Oregon we were trained how to catch and walk an ostrich and make it go where we wanted it to go. Stand behind her up against her butt putting you hands on the base of her wings. Now you need to go into A squatting position. Bend you knees then you can maneuver the ostrich towards the direction you want it to go into or towards .

    Lester, there are at least five ostrich farms in Texas. Why don't you call one of them and ask them the questions that you need answers to. We know you want the best life for the ostriches so why not go to the source to get the answers that you actually need. These are all family-owned farms and I am sure they would be more than happy to speak to you and answer the questions that are so detrimental right now. I hope you reach out and speak to one of them so that you have the correct answers to the issues that are going on right now on the farm. Good luck!

I know I saw Carl walking in the pond in a video the was made before but he was just wading in it , but I don’t think whichever one of you was videoing saw it because nothing was said ! I hope the kids don’t mess with the girls , which became a worry when Carl was allowed to be back by the pond and he got moved to insure the kids didn’t accidentally get hurt because of the natural curiosity of the kids!! What a great video Lester , I’m so happy you were able to get the pleasure of seeing Wanda enjoying the pond and it appears Pablo has set his eye on the ladies, wouldn’t it be neat if they became swimming partners!!

      I agree...he cares about the ostriches. I do think Lester should be more aggressive with Carl. Not hurt him or anything like that but I believe he should let Carl know who is in charge. They are allowing Carl to be in charge and it might be adding to his aggression. I'm not an expert on ostriches at all but I do wonder how would Carl react if they hissed back at Carl when he hissed at them? I don't want to see Carl hurt but I really don't want to see the humans hurt even more. It's kind of like Tex. Tex is big and strong but they still make him go where he belongs when he gets out.

    I read that animals find the water very therapeutic when they have had trauma in the past. That’s probably why she enjoyed it. It was nice to see LE in the video. You need to put cameras out by the pond so you can watch them all the time and keep an eye out for safety as well as enjoyment. I LOVE Pablo. He is such a ladies man! He makes me smile every time. If I’m having a bad day I just come watch one of your videos because I know I will end up smiling at some point. I would absolutely love to own a sanctuary. My husband and I are both huge animals lovers and would truly enjoy caring for and giving the animals a for3ver home. We are always taking in a stray animal or fostering till e can find homes for them. And I’m not meaning dogs and cats. I’m talking pigs, goats, donkeys, etc. We just don’t have enough land to make it a forever home for a lot of animals but would love to have that someday. Thanks for loving all the animals and sharing it with all of us! Miss Jami in this video!

    Ostriches like all birds do sometimes pluck their own feathers. It is thought to be due to stress and sometimes nutrient deficiencies that cause skin irritation. Wanda may be under stress and doing it to herself. Either way moving her for now is definitely the answer. I loved seeing her in the pond and when she plopped down in the water that was so sweet. Wanda also listened to you so good in the barn area. Pablo swimming with her was sweet.
