Those quarantine hotels are expensive so they probably couldn't afford it!

Surely they should be warning dogs, poor creatures could be attacked by small children and flightless birds.

How'd you know they're not up your street? They can run jolly fast for miles. Herts to Essex, no problem for Mr and Mrs Ostrich.

I think these evil buggers should be taken out by police snipers before a child or adult is attacked.. they are Five feet high and can run at 50 mph. It's bad enough hitting a pheasant on the roads that cause damage to cars without these evil buggers on the loose

I want to know why they left South Africa for South America in the first place? Something very dodgy about these birds.

You cant trust these Fowel foreigners..... coming over here, with their fancy plumage, stealing our grubs and worms! and it's not like you see them integrating with the local Ducks and Swans!

Send them back to their own county! Make an Eggsample out of them!

6 chickens

4 swans

9 pheasants

4 geese

5 flamingos

2 golden eagles

2 budgerigars

And

1 cockatoo

The numbers are bound to swell as news spreads

A company that sells construction equipment has them in the yard and they are there all the time.

They friendly enough but once it's dark they will kick out and grab hold of you.

As they run quick you got bugger all chance against them.

I don't know how you train them but they look at you menacingly.
