Take
time
off
and
have
a
face
to
face
encounter
with
the
second
fastest
running
animal
-
the
ostrich;
definitely
not
in
Africa,
but
in
Bago
City.
Try
feeding
the
ostrich
yourself,
tease
it
and
find
out
if
you
can run
as
fast
as
it
does. |

be
found
in
Barangay

Presently,
there
are
six
ostrich
being
raised
in
the
farm,
two
of
which
are
males
and
the
rest
females.
As
intended,
the
ostrich
will
be
raised for
breeding
and
reproduction,
in
view
of
the
expensive
cost
of
its
meat
at
more
or
less
seven
hundred
pesos
per
