Robot Spy Ostrich Chick Joins Real Chicks in Nest

Ostrich Raises His Chicks Alongside Robotic Spy Ostrich Chick
A special newcomer Robot Spy Ostrich Chick get's a novel bird's eye view of a male ostrich and his mate raise their young, but they always have to be alert for danger...this time from a leopard!
The female makes herself as conspicuous as possible and pretends to be injured so that the leopard can't resist following her.
Clip from episode 2 'Intelligence' of our BBC/PBS/THIRTEEN Productions LLC series Spy in the Wild.
In one of the most innovative natural history series ever presented, Spy in the Wild deploys over 30 ultra-realistic animatronic Spy Creatures to go undercover in the animal world. This 5 x 60’ BBC One series captures unique animal behaviour closer than ever before.
Using special “spy cameras” invented by film maker John Downer’s team at John Downer Productions, the viewer is plunged into the very heart of the extraordinary lives of over thirty fascinating animals across the world, including langurs, orang-utans, meerkats and crocodiles, revealing behaviour that is remarkably like our own. To expose some of the most astonishing animal behaviour ever seen, the team of Spy Creatures go undercover.
These robotic look-alikes make all the right moves to not only be accepted by animals but also interact with them, providing revelatory insights into their world.
In this four part series, each episode is packed with a menagerie of animatronic Spy Creatures exploring the different aspects of animal behaviour: Love, Intelligence, Friendships and Mischief.
The innovative techniques and ambition of the BBC One series are documented in the fifth “Making Of” episode, where we see the creation of the Spy Creatures and witness their first magical moves before being deployed around the world; from deserts and rainforests to the Polar Regions.
Narrated by David Tennant

Not only aggressive and dangerous, but quite fast also: "Ostriches share the order Struthioniformes with the kiwis, and other ratites. It is distinctive in its appearance, with a long neck and legs and the ability to run at maximum speeds of about 70 km/h (45 mph), the top land speed of any bird.

That's actually awesome! I'm pretty sure any animal mother would risk their life for their children but the way she worked to lead the leopard away really makes ostriches seem stronger than they are! They are very intelligent animals. If defense didn't work she would have a backup plan, and also amazing how the father stayed with the chick's. Love these documentaries!

[@Forrerorochel]

One time I was visiting a farm with my family and there was this male swallow ( I think it was a swallow, I couldn’t tell what it was) pretending to be injured. It was because we got too close to a nest which I never saw. Well, we thought it was truly injured so we approached. It flew forward but only a few feet. We still thought it was hurt, so we followed it. It kept leading us away for another 5 minutes until it flew off, perfectly fine. Yep, I got tricked by a bird :/

Ostrich: I don’t do that

[@Splashstar216]

That is a myth bc wen ostriches lay eggs, they would usually dig massive holes measuring between 6 and 8 feet wide and 2 to 3 feet deep. They bury the eggs safely in the ground, then mom and dad take turns sitting on the eggs to protect them until they're ready to hatch. A few times a day, the ostrich parents dip their heads below the ground to gently turn the eggs using their beaks. This relatively brief head-duck -- which lasts only as long as it takes the ostrich to inspect and arrange the eggs to its satisfaction -- may have given rise to the head-burying myth.
