The Ostrich Farm
Matividiri – One of the most entertaining
vacation activities is a visit to the Ostrich
Farm, a popular stopover on most island
jeep tours.
Locals and visitors enjoy the guided
ostrich tour at the farmand features a
well-stocked locally crafted and pro-
duced Art Boutique. The highlight of the
visit is always the fun interaction with
the resident ostriches and emus, includ-
ing a trip to the incubators and the bird
kindergarten,housing baby ostriches,
baby emus, chicken and ducks, and
even a land turtle!
It was a National Geographic moment
when on cue Mr. Ostrich flapped his
wings excitedly and poked around the
ground with his bill, triggering Mrs. Os- fore collapsingon the ground in a heap
trich who ran around in circles, flapped
her wings and also poked around, be-
of feathers, allowing him to mount her,
shaking, winding and spiraling his head
in all direction!
Mr. Ostrich concluded his unexpected
performance with a loud honking, his
eyes rolling, then got up in a huff to non-
chalantly strut away, leaving his wife
and the scrutiny of our cameras.
It was a surprise reality TV moment, and
not usually included in the regular pro-
gram. Feeding the Ostriches is however
always on the program, and they are Matividiri 57,
eternally hungry, and fun! Open daily from 10:00 AM till 4:00 PM
