Despite the fact that ostriches do not feed on people, they have been known to hurt and kill when provoked.

They are extremely swift on foot and can inflict devastating strikes simply by the force of their legs, let alone their lethally sharp talons. The greatest thing you can do is keep your distance and steer clear.

If that fails, you may have to fight the ostrich head-on, which is where this helpful guide comes in.

1. Make use of a long weapon.

Avoid close-quarters fighting if you must defend yourself against an ostrich. Keep as far away from its legs as possible, as ostriches may kick hard enough to kill a lion. Use the nearest and longest weapon-like implement, such as a pole, rake, brush, or branch.

If you must use a gun, aim towards the ostrich’s main body to increase your chances of hitting your target. Although they will attack with their legs and/or beak, their legs and neck are extremely slender and easily overlooked.

2. Stay by the ostrich’s side.

Consider yourself most vulnerable when the two of you are face to face. Keep in mind that an ostrich can only kick its legs squarely in front of it. Stay as far behind or to the side of the bird as possible to avoid its most devastating weapon.

3. Make a beeline towards the neck.

Consider this to be the ostrich’s most vulnerable bodily portion. To destroy it more quickly, strike it where it is most susceptible and least defended. If that fails, go for its breast. Concentrate your efforts on the two when the chance arises. Continue to attack until it gives up and flees.

4. Inflict damage on its wings.

If the ostrich refuses to surrender despite your strikes on its neck, when the time arises, go for its wings. Know that an ostrich’s wings are used to change direction more smoothly when running, similar to a ship’s rudder. If you are forced to escape, damaging its wings may boost your chances of fleeing in a zigzag pattern.

5. Take it by the legs.

Take an easy shot to one of the ostrich’s legs if you find yourself behind or to the side of it. Understand that the ostrich’s center of gravity is totally dependent on its two slender legs. If given the opportunity, strike one or both of its legs to disrupt its balance, speed, and striking ability.

Keep in mind that a kick from an ostrich's leg may have a 500 psi impact, which is enough to kill a human.

DO NOT TRY TO FIGHT AN OSTRICH IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE YOU CAN MAKE IT.

When in doubt, hide. The nostrich will lose interest if it thinks that you're gone.

Now I ‘m just picturing some innocent ostrich standing on the street corner getting taken out by the legs.

Poor Jerry, he was just trying to make it in the big city, working odd jobs to feed his wife and kids. And then he took a baseball bat to the knee.

Can’t believe this protocol is free.

Not just free, individually profitable.

Odler Hodler 2y ago

Yeah... freedom, what a concept.😎

You always hear how if something’s free, you’re the product. Nostr just turned that paradigm on its head!
