Ostriches escape enclosure near Taber, Alta.Destiny Nanaquewetung, who works in Taber, was on a break at work when she saw an RCMP vehicle driving next to an ostrich. She recorded a video and posted it on social media.

Destiny Nanaquewetung, who works at a convenience store in the small town about 230 kilometres southeast of Calgary, was on a break when she saw an RCMP vehicle driving next to an ostrich. "I thought I was seeing things at first … I hear sirens and I look over and I see an ostrich and there's no way that this is happening right now," she said.The bird in the video was one of approximately 20 ostriches, said RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Troy Savinkoff. The birds had escaped their enclosure, and officers were helping the owner recapture his flock.

"Several of the ostriches have been successfully captured, and there's just a couple more loose currently that they're attempting to support the owner and continue to capture the rest of them."RCMP in Taber respond to reports of loose cattle and horses "quite often," Savinkoff said.

This is officially the most Canadian News I have seen since Harper was elected 🇨🇦

Headline: RCMP respond to ostrich crisis

Why not talk about the EMA Commission Hearings? Your golden geese were on today and will be on tomorrow.

Finally, something they could catch. How are the doing on the thugs that attacked Coastline O&G workers with axes in February? I know it’s hard with video and pictures of the assailants and all…

I guess they were tired of being ostrichsized by their stuck up neighbours🤦‍♂️
