Have you come across anything more strange than this on your ride?

Cycling down a rural lane today and noncholantly walking towards me was this creature. Not the slightest bit bothered and seemingly enjoying his/her stroll.

All sorts of strange sightings from young roe deer in Buchanan Street in the centre of Glasgow but that takes the biscuit.

Is it a young ostrich?

I thought it was a white emu, but I think those only live in Australia?

Not sure ostriches are that common in Cheshire either.

You could ge right though.

Not a clue. It seemed very relaxed.

You'll need to find out what's around the locality as your going to get a few weird and wonderful suggestions.

I think the OP is a Winner. I doubt anyone can beat that.

My sis in law has a couple of Emus. Both very tame and like a cuddle having been hand reared and fed from chicks. Scatty as anything and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them running down the lane.

Maryfields farm shop in Thornaby have 3 of them in a field and near me is alpaca alpaca farm with alpacas. They do experiences and you camp under the stars in the field in a hut with the alpacas. They are wonderful creatures.

Did you find a dazed looking Bernie Clifton about half a mile further on?

 

[Bazzer]

Escapee Rhea?
At least it left you alone. Child 2 has, through college had to handle Alpacas and they can spit at you. So don't stop at the herd between Culcheth and Glazebrook.

One escaped near Whitminster (Glos) a couple of weeks ago that made the local rag. I know the smallholding they come from, and they have a white one, too. Seems the buggers are quite difficult to keep fenced in!

His names Wodders, he's an peanut.

Very sweary...
