Ostrich male skin colour changes when they are ready to mate. I remember the info visiting an ostrich farm. I have noticed that Carl's legs are red. This is the indicator. In ostrich farming, a man cannot enter a field with a male ostrich in heat, but women can. It is linked to hormones.

Hi from South Africa, we have many ostriches here. In the western Cape, we have signs on the N7 highway instructing motorists not to honk their car horns! You just don’t make a noise on that stretch of highway! Noise seriously aggravates them. What I can tell you is that they can be really sweet when they want to!

Jami, thanks for explaining what is going on over there. I thought all of you lost your minds chasing after Carl and using his name 2,000 times a day. Anyway I don't think Carl has a dark side, he's only doing what Nature calls him to do. Lester be careful and Jami keep the fence between you and him until he settles down and the season is over. Love you guys!

[@infinitygirl92]

I was wondering if that wing "dance" that he was doing was some mating thing. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. That's why I love you guys because you do learn from your mistakes and try to be better. Both you and Carl are still learning about each other. I love that. I seriously don't think he'll be a danger to the littles. If he would be he would have shown it at feed time.

It's about a woman who rescues ostriches and how to handle the more "dominant" ones in that scenario. It hasn't happened, and carl seems sweet, but it might be a good "just in case" watch. If I find it again, I promise to send it to yall.

You took the words out of my mouth. I just said to my self this is journey. I second thought this out because Of the memories of our precious Baby Journey. And didnt want to add to sadness.. But each baby little or large that Comes to the SANUTARY does have its own journey. Yes it's a learning process. Even for us that follows IMA DONKEY SANITARY. I'm so glad I can tune in the videos that you all share with us. Thank you so much for sharing. Lester and Jamie I'm sure you have I hope you reach out to vets that handle large animals and work with these beautiful animals. I lived on a farm. Our vet worked with tiny baby's to large baby's. However he also became the Kansas City Mo Zoo Vet. I have known him since I was a little. I'm 69. He is in his 80s I've watch the gentleness he uses with the animals. He's the Best. My mother always told us to be gentle to the animal. Carl has been a great addition to you all. You have done a lot with him in a couple of weeks. One thing for sure watching you how you handle him is amazing. When I was a teen and in 4-H I got a hereford cafe bigger than me. Maybe close to Pearls size but no horns. That ment roping her, getting drugged, taming her, and have her ready for the fairs. Training a wild calf wasn't easy. Kinda like watching a western. This calf wasn't born on the farm. We bought her from another farmer. Like I said you all have come a long ways with Carl in two weeks. CONGRATULATIONS. Thank You for Sharing All the Videos With Us.

[@bobbieumberger9327]

I watched a program for the zoo, and they had a female ostrich and they talked a little bit about their habits and how to handle them. They used keys because I said ostriches like shiny objects so when they were trying to do something for her they would distract her one person would distract her with keys and they even used baby keys plastic ones to distract them but Zoo's have a world of knowledge on ostriches

[@shirlzdey951]

The Ostrich farmers will tell you unnatural noise does trigger them off. Like cars hooting etc. Farmers will put notices up asking “ No Hooting as the ostriches are breeding”. There is a farm just outside of Cape Town, South Africa with those sign boards.

You are both so right! The people that raise them for profit, don’t have a relationship with them. Just to collect eggs they use a super long scoop or drive their truck in the yard for protection. Another farmer has had the boy since a chick. He’s able to pet and touch his feathers. His hens aren’t friendly. As you both said it’s a totally individual situation. You are like that with ALL your babies. You get to know them and do what it takes to give them their best life. 🌻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@christinemiller1885]

Yes Carl is in all out male-mode (in-season they call it). Besides the behavior, you can tell by their red legs and their red skin on their neck & sometimes face, depending on the bird. Ours got very aggressive, to the point that I couldn't go in the pen. If I did, he'd come running full speed and try to kick me (it was his mission in life lol) and when he couldn't kick me, he'd kick the fence. It finally got so bad I just threw their feed over the fence and he'd still kick the fence. When the female was with him, it was even worse. Their dance is a ritual to attract females and show their dominance. I mentioned once that I had ostriches, they are difficult, but if anyone can figure it out, y'all can ... The aggressive males tend to stay aggressive, like a rooster that always wants to fight. Dancing in front of him is like teasing a dog, in a sense, it eggs him on. Trying to pet him is also egging him on. When they raise up like that, it's a warning you're invading their space. Our ostriches were hand raised. When we got them as yearlings, they were so much fun. You could walk with them, side-by-side, it was amazing. You could pet them ... You could even touch their legs. That ended though when they came of age. These are just my recollections, don't know if it helps any. Thanks for sharing.

[@theine607]

[@everettplummer9725]

Lester letting Carl peck on his hand, is establishing the pecking order. Carl dosen't wish to be grabbed by his neck or touched just yet. Waiting to develop trust can take awhile. Carl is adjusting, dealing with the stresses and anxieties of his new life. His neck is where he is vulnerable, and constantly grabbing for it, stresses Big Bird. Lower voices, walking with, not at, keep your hands to yourself, always have a treat or reward, and let time turn things around.

You really do have to take a “crash course” anytime you get a new animal and as you said, besides learning about general behaviors of a particular animal you have to also remember that they each will have their own personalities and idiosyncrasies. Carl is no exception. Finally, y’all have more patience with keyboard know-it-all’s and bullies than I could ever have.

[@carolb148]

I just think you have to be careful where Carl is concerned. Because exotic animals like that have been known to look at humans as their mate. I know that happened with a giraffe at a zoo one time, he was bottle raised and became closer and closer with his caretaker and then eventually they had to move her completely out of there and not allow contact with that animal because he was looking at her as his mate. So you do have to be very careful where he is concerned.

[@gringa978]

I was doing some reading about ostriches and apparently if there is no same species mate they will fall in love with their caretaker. It totally makes sense the caretaker is the one feeding, bandaging, interacting and giving love. Ostriches have a small brain too. It's interesting you mention other exotic animals including the giraffe. Just like humans animals want love and attention and don't want to be lonely!

At some point he will go after the other animals and people. He's young but as he matures his neck will become red and he will not be able to control his behavior. Ya'll have too many people an animals around to keep taking chances that he can be trained or kept as a pet on the farm.

Ps I love that you are diligently reading/studying up on ostriches, before you know it, there will be peace and harmony between Carl, y'all and all babies 🥰

Carl's dance was absolutely gorgeous I must say

[@cking91182]

you guys are doing awesome! some people just watch just to scrutinize and they are the ones that most likely have miserable lives, and have nothing better to do. Jamie and Lester your doing great 👍.

Carl is learning every person as well. You did great Lester showed no fear nothing but confidence 🙌 and Carl can sense that! Just like Elephants they can be agressive when they are in musk which most of us call in in Heat. So glad you are researching & learning thats because of how much you care for your babies! Why I respect 🙌 you all so much! You are teaching me alot! Thank you 💕 😊
