    From what I can tell by the blog post the ostrich’s owners had been trainning him to eat large quantities of food…

    I am now reconsidering what I think goes on at the ostrich farms…

    When I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment.

    Is there an easy method you are able to remove me from
    that service? Kudos!
