VIDEO: Ostrich steals phone from visitor to Texas safari park
Published in Weird News
AUSTIN, Texas (UPI) -- An ostrich at a Texas safari park was apparently so annoyed to be filmed eating a piece of offered bread that it snatched the phone from a father's hand.
The video, posted to YouTube by Sean Friedrich, shows a man trying to feed an ostrich -- which he initially misidentifies as "Mr. Emu" -- a piece of bread from his hand.
The ostrich accepts the man's offer of bread after he correctly calls him "Mr. Ostrich" and the bird lets out a squawk of apparent thanks.
However, the bird's gratitude turns to attitude in a hurry when it notices the man is filming with his camera phone.
The ostrich snatches the phone from the man's hand and drops throws it to the ground.
"At a safari park in Texas when an ostrich reaches into the car and steals my phone. Sorry I screamed like a little girl," the video's description reads.
