The Brood

A lovely sight of a Somali Ostrich couple and their charge. Ostriches tend to lay their eggs and leave them with a caretaker couple who hatch the whole brood and look after them as one large family.

 

Here we have the female being followed by the chicks, they shortly deviated from the path and started to follow the male.
