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 =)
