Feed the Badboys at Ostrichland

Jean Tu

I came on a Thursday morning around 9:15 AM since the place opens at 9! (Thinking being one of the first ones there to feed the ostriches before they get hungry, but turns out if they’re full they just head out to the rest of the fenced in area and others will come). It’s a way to have some fun at a very affordable price. With the entrance fee being just $7 and each food bowl being $1. I ended up grabbing extra bowls of feed because I kept running out! Some of them are pretty aggressive when they eat and a lot of the feed can spill on to the floor. Some of the emu’s were very gentle and polite when eating, but can’t say that for all of them! Perk: They have their own pressed penny machine if you’re a collector! ~~Parking: There’s a small parking lot in front of the place, but they have ample additional parking just to the side. ~~Tips: Make sure you get enough feed! I thought 1 bowl might be enough and I used it all up at the first cage because I was just so fascinated by the Ostriches! You can walk around the rest of the grounds to feed the emu’s and other Ostriches. I ended up getting 4 bowls of feed because it was just so much fun! ~~Return: Definitely.

One of my favorite places in all of California!! You can feed the ostriches and emus and see lots of them! They also have bunnies and a great gift shop. The ostriches are HUGE and super fun to feed. There is a general admission and then a $1 charge per feeding bowl. Awesome place, highly recommend!

What a great experience! Definitely worth it at least once. The animals do bite so watch little fingers when feeding them. You can be as close and personal as you feel comfortable. We did a line and paid $7 per person plus $1 for each food bowl. A good place for photos and very impressive for the young ones. They have an overpriced souvenir store and portable bathrooms outside

This was fun!!! Didn’t think I’d have so much fun feeding these humongous birds. BEWARE: they are aggressive eaters but it’s entertaining to watch them eat. They have both Emus and Ostriches. It’s so cheap to get a bowl of food, keeps you busy for a good hour or so to walk around and look at all the birds they have and keep them fed. Staff is friendly, they look like they love what they’re doing, might be family owned? They seem to run a tight ship here at Ostrichland. I saw 1 employee go in the field to fetch a few feed bowls that were probably either dropped or maybe snatched up by one of the birds, and he was confronted by a few ostriches but was not phased by either of them. He knew how to back them off and kind of let them do their own thing, without being aggressive toward them or use any kind of force, he just chested up with bird and they just let him be. Overall a great experience, I’d recommend this place to anyone because it’s about the experience and you won’t regret it.

Fun little experience of you are headed in this area! Super affordable we spent under $20 for 2 people including feeding. The birds were actually super friendly, and definitely beautiful of course. They also sell ostrich eggs and give instructions for how to open them in a way you can save the shell. Unique and fun. Dog and kid friendly
