for about two weeks at which time they go to feedings every two hours and can sleep through the night. At six to seven weeks they can go to their new home but are still hand fed, which Frank says is not a problem for most people.

Frank has help this summer in the form of Mike Mills, who is a zoo keeper trainee Frank says. He’ll be working with the animals and learning about how to care for them.

Although selling the parrots is keeping things afloat now for Wild Life Farm, Inc. Frank hopes the interest in ostrich products will take off.

He’s also sent information to area restaurants about ostrich and how it can be incorporated into their menus.

He recently did a big party for the Welcome to Washington (DC) Gourmet Group where the recipes he used were well received. He hopes to get local restaurants to do an ostrich only night where all parts of the dinner will utilize ostrich products. “Unlike cows, ostrich lay eggs, which can be used for desserts and other recipes,” he said. “You could have appetizer, main course and dessert.”
