| Description: | Birds; animals; farming. Ostrich farm. Shot of group of about 30 ostriches; on flat bare land; with fence stretching into distance (looks very much like Australia but could also be the USA). Man on horse behind the ostriches rides off to left. Horse-drawn wagon drives through the big birds; with a worker on the back on top of what looks like a big pile of dirt; but he is knocking some of it off with a pitchfork -- maybe it's something they like to eat. CU DS of ostriches moving about. Man putting giant ostrich eggs into a sack. Shot of ostrich gang all moving to right at a brisk trot; then stopping; a man walks through them. CU one ostrich; wih head bent down on its weird long neck as it pecks at something on the ground. It lifts its head up again; then turns toward camera. Nature bizarre. | |
