Every day I receive your newsletter, I scan for the ostrich story. So HAPPY to see this Valentine from them and you to us! Against all odds…..

Now that is a proper love story for Valentine’s day! Thanks guys!

What a wonderful story. When we visited Londo in June 2016 we met “Jennifer” and she chased our vehicle for more than 30 minutes. When we heard she had a mate we were thrilled….then came the “little ones” we were overjoyed. We can’t wait to return next year to meet the whole family.

I too always look for the ostriches, sadly we don’t know what happened to the second male?

Thank you for this warm, happy, touching story. I really needed to see this, especially today.

Such a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift to us all! Thank you.

My son Miles and I were on the drive with Alfred the day the first male was seen by Shadrach. It was the experience of a lifetime. We saw the female miles away layer that day and so glad they found each other.

Wonderful Valentine video.So glad there are still four babies and can not believe how big they have
gotten.Hope they keep growing bigger and stronger.And hope there will be more babies in
the future.

Sometimes Mother Nature surprises us with unlikely happy endings. Love the drawing of the ostrich family. Did someone there produce it?

Hi Leslie. Thank you! Yes, Roxy Burrough, our Graphic Designer created the images…

What a beautiful story! Loved the storytelling in the video clip. Every morning I look forward to reading your blog with my coffee. The ostrich story has captured our hearts. Thank you?

I loved the video and what a heartwarming story that we have all watched develop over the past few years! It’s so fantastic to see the family altogether and the four babies growing and thriving. Thank you for this wonderful Valentine’s gift!

Thank you for the most heart touching valentines message. You have spread the love. Just can’t get enough of these ostrich updates, and may they stay safe and together for another year. They have so many people praying for their survival.

Sweetness, Amy! Well done.

I followed the link to this post from James’s bird post! I had no idea that that female was on Londolozi for so long before she had the chicks! Haven’t seen any posts about the chicks’ reaching maturity yet, are they still on the Reserve? That message ‘love is worth the wait’ is really powerful, really needed that right now, thanks so much!!
