Mr. Bad Guy posted:Ostriches are specifically listed under "not kosher" which for legal purposes is obviously "close enough" to apply to emus. The only paleognath mentioned in Leviticus is the unclean ostrich, so it would makes sense that the rest of the clade (emus, rheas, kiwis, cassowaries, and tinamous) are unclean as well.

I'm really proud at having started a multi page derail about ostriches. My class in like 3rd grade got to take a field trip to our ostrich farm and I thought I was the coolest motherfucker ever. I saw my dad ride one once. He was trying to wrangle it into a trailer and when it took off he was in a position of either falling down and potentially getting kicked or stepped on so he hung on for a good 100 yard sprint. When I was probably six we had a male drop dead for no discernible reason, and considering it was worth a good $20k my dad had the vet come out for an autopsy on the spot. The vet finally had to make my mom take me inside because I was so fascinated I kept trying to practically stick my head into its chest cavity. I remember when he pulled the esophagus out how long it was and I thought it was amazing. Ostrich art was a thing at my house. We had various forms of it. Ostrich feather arrangement center pieces on tables and quite a few elaborately painted ostrich eggs among other things. The chicks are super cute and playing in an enclosure with like 20 of them at once was always fun. Getting their eggs was always a matter of distracting them and running in and out as fast as possible as the parents realized you were stealing it and came charging after you.

There was a farm near my town when I was a kid that had ostriches and camels for maybe 2 years, and when I tell people now they don't believe me. I'm feeling very vindicated right now.

What is it with wierdos and emus? There's a caravan park/truck stop near me with emus for some stupid reason. They sell the egg shell art to tourists I guess? Just a small flock of desert adapted birds with bare legs hanging out in the Canadian snow. I'm guessing he puts them in a barn when it gets cold because it gets down to - 30 or more and there's no way they could handle that. I also saw a single Emu sitting in some guys backyard in Chile once. I just don't get it.

When I was a small child, my mom used to take me to an exotic pet store on the semi-regular, possibly for aquarium supplies but maybe just to let me gawk at the animals. It was one of those tiny, one-crazy-person-type businesses, and I have a very distinct, bizarre memory of catching a glimpse of an emu or rhea running around in the back room. I kind of wonder if it was a dream, because surely even the craziest Exotic Pet Guy in Alaska wouldn't have kept a goddamn emu in the back room, but... who fuckin' knows.

Ghost Leviathan posted:And I thought it was cool and exotic when there used to be a deer farm along the highway in rural Australia. And now they're an invasive pest species running wild all over the country.  Some guy called Colonel Tooey ran a "jungle river cruises" business in Florida back in the 1930s and put a bunch of rhesus macaque monkeys on an island to show off to the tourists. It turns out that macaques are pretty good at swimming, and they adapt really well to the local climate, and they're also susceptible to diseases which they can pass on to humans ..... which is how Florida ended up with a giant troupe of 300 herpes-infected monkeys running wild over hundreds of miles of territory. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/11/florida-rhesus-monkeys-herpes-running-wild-invasive-species/

When I was a FedEx man in Texas there was a ranch with ~20 zebras that I used to say hello to every day. There were also camels, alpacas, and a couple of ostriches on my route. Unfortunately the guy with the exotic big cats was next route over.

Yeah my dad also had a friend who lived in a double wide trailer and had a 10ft fence for his backyard he kept a lionness in. They had a sweet family picture with the whole family and the lion stretched out laying down in front of them. I'm starting to realize my childhood was not normal...
