The boys are starting to get a little Nesty lol it’s almost time for eggs to start falling again! Everyone will start to pair off. Typically they pick the same mate every year but it’s not unheard of for them to also pick different mates.

We moved birds to new pastures this afternoon and where able to go collect eggs. These eggs are likely not hatch-able. We currently have 4 eggs in the incubator with fingers crossed they’ll hatch but guts thinking they likely won’t. Are they the most beautiful color!

Did you know that the ostrich is the largest and heaviest living bird. Males are typically larger than females, weighing 220 to 287 pounds and measuring 6.9 to 9 feet in height. Meanwhile, females weigh 198 to 242 pounds and range in height from 5.7 to 6.2 feet.

Have you ever stood next to an ostrich? Well this is my view at 5’2”

Did you know?:
Emu’s Are the Only Birds with Calf Muscles
What they lack in wing size emus make up for with leg power. On top of the sheer size of their legs, a few special features help boost their strength. Emus are unique among all bird species, for example, in having a gastrocnemius. This powerful muscle, located on the back of the lower leg, forms part of what's known as the calf muscle in humans.
