Keep turning them into feather dusters, and eventually the ostriches are going to fight back.
Not much is known about this video, and although it has been around for about two months it’s only just come to our attention.
Some versions paint the farmer as being from Brakpan, and although that hasn’t been verified it’s clear that there are a few rerige boere around.
The YouTube video you’ll see below comes with this description:
In the Northwest Province of South Africa, Tienie Van Wyk is about to be taught formidable lesson by a frenzied ostrich, who didn’t take kindly to the engineer’s presence.
Standing in front of the boisterous bird, as it flares its wings in anger, suddenly Tienie is bowled to the floor by the incensed ostrich, who ploughs into him like a feathered freight-train.
As Tienie is thrown backwards, the bird continues to maul the former ostrich farmer with a series of pecks and kicks, before thankfully being chased away by on-lookers.
Tienie, from Brakpan, South Africa, who grew up on an ostrich farm, said: “I landed on a thorn bush and was covered in scratches, but other than that, luckily I was fine.
Those details seem to be backed up by this article on East Coast Radio, so let’s watch Tienie and the ostrich tussle.
Ostrich one, Tienie and his dignity zero.
