1-Day Desaru Trip (ii) - Ostrich Farm

Continuing from my 1-Day Desaru Trip - After breakfast, we were driven to Ostrich Farm. Entrance fee for this visit is covered in the tour package. 

At the shop front, there is a 1-Day Old Ostrich on display

Once you enter the farm, there's a Chinese-speaking uncle explaining the process of farming Ostrich, the use & the price of a full-grown Ostrich. He also demonstrate on how to open up an Ostrich Egg. He also explained the differences of Ostrich from different countries

1 Ostrich egg is equivalent to 24 Chicken Eggs & it's sold at RM$60/egg 

Here, they also have 1 Cassowary!

These smiley Ostriches are 2-3 months old

All the Ostriches cost between RM$6-RM$9k, but this is a super pricey Ostrich. It cost abt RM$20k! Why? Cause this Ostrich is short-sighted! 

They also have different types of Chickens here. They also have a Monkey here, which I didn't manage to snap a picture of it

The super friendly Ostrich who loves taking pictures with the visitors!

Apart from taking pictures with the Ostriches, you can also try to stand &  balance on the Ostrich Eggs. Each egg can stand a weight of about 130kg!

After the tour, you can also relax at the Surf & Turf Restaurant to enjoy a cup of cold beverage, and types of dishes made from Ostrich Meat/ Egg. Wendy ordered 5 sticks of Ostrich Meat Satay for us to try. The meat was tender & it actually taste a bit like beef. Sam ate only half a stick cos part of the meat wasn't really cooked. 

Before we left, we saw this slightly injured & sleepy cat lazying at one corner =)

In case you have yet to read my previous post on my 1-Day Desaru trip, it's here! Coming up next, Lobster Lunch (provided in the tour package)
