A Day in Malaysia : Ostrich Stars from Malaysia
I haven’t forgotten you yet guys … just too many things on my plate at the moment.
I mentioned in some posts back and in my goal for 2009 post in my other blog that I want to have an eco resort in the future but aside from that I want to be involved in organic farming too.
So we booked a farm tour to Malaysia. This is our third time to visit Malaysia and I must say I love going here – it’s kinda like being in the Philippines. I’ll tell you about the first two visit some other time.
Anyway, our tour included a visit to an Ostrich Farm, 2 Seafood meals and Firefly watching tour and of course a Fruit Farm tour.
We left Singapore at 6:00 am …way too early man but well it was worth it. After the immigration, we went to stop for breakfast somewhere in Johor. We are not much of breakfast eaters but we did have some coffee and a Ba Pau ( Siopao) to keep us awake. Next to the coffeeshop/hawker is a store where they sold some dried fruits and coffee.
After breakfast, we headed to the Ostrich farm. I didn’t really expect much on this one but to see a couple of ostriches walking around but later on I realized that this was really something too! This is the biggest ostrich farm there is in Malaysia – they have around 300 ostriches.
I must say that the size of these animals did make an impression on me. They are huge!
What are you looking at?

Okay lemme give you a close up shot....
Not the typical egg!
His first day in the world
Two weeks and they are big as adult chickens!
Ostriches are vegetarian and did you know that live at about 30- 70 years?
If you trace back the ancestry dna of ostriches, you will find that they have some links with dinosaurs.

Wow! They are big and I haven’t seen one for real, only in the original movie “Swiss Family Robinson”. And the egg whites? Hmmm, I can make a lot of chiffon cake, haha! That was quite an experience.
BTW: That was my 5th walk and I got 5 medals too.

Hi Jade,
This us uncanny, we have an ostrich farm right next to our farmhouse. We sometimes wander down there ans asy hello to these impressive birds. I can’t help thinking of how well the meat woudl go on a barbecue though, maybe I’ve been in Bulgaria too long now.
Glad you’re going back to your farm, just enjoy these moments.
