STRUTHIONIFORMES: Struthionidae

Struthio camelus  

Ostriches are an introduced bird released into the wild from failed Ostrich farms in the 1920's and 1990's. Some feral populations have survived.

These birds were found on a slow drive along two kilometres of the Moama-Barham Road 13-15 kilometres west of the railway line at Caldwell with a detour up Lashbrook Road.

A total of 11 Ostriches were seen in the Canola fields.
