Shocking moment ostrich attacks Brakpan man
This is definitely not the type of encounter anyone would want to experience.
It was not a good day in the field for one man.
Tienie Van Wyk had a terrible encounter with a boisterous male ostrich when the big bird pinned him to the ground just a few days ago.
In the video, one can see the large bird flaring its wings in anger as it pushes Van Wyk to the ground, and tramples on him for a few seconds. He is not only very familiar with ostriches, but Tienie also grew up on a farm, saying: “I landed on a thorn bush and was covered in scratches, but other than that, luckily I was fine."
Van Wyk suffered a few pecks and kicks from the large bird but luckily escaped when a few on-lookers intervened and chased the bird away.
Sjoe! There's no doubt this could have gotten a lot more nasty!
