"A large collection of eggs, ostrich eggs, could be considered quite unusual in Britian. Their history, more so. When ostrich farming became popular amongst the more affluent, a few small scale farms extended their buisness to capitalise on this none native bird. The ostrich requires specific conditions for it to succesfully breed, of which were quite often not met in the U.K. The parents of these eggs were angry, i had met them just a short drive away from my childhood home, sandwiched in the Yorkshire countryside between fields of sheep. The ostriches were like dinosaurs to me, at age 6. They seem all the more beastily upon discovering the injuries the farmer and his wife experienced. No one has been able to tell me where the ostriches ended, only that they never succesfully bred."
