Sneaky beak! Moment aggressive ostrich bites man's finger as he feeds the bird at drive-through wildlife park

  • The man was feeding the two ostriches he came across in Como, Mississippi
  • The hungry bird snatched his finger instead of the food, making him cry in pain
  • He then tries to avoid the birds who insist on getting some more food 

A man feeding ostriches at a drive-through wildlife park got more than he bargained for when one bit his finger and he had to shut his car window to get rid of it.

The footage was filmed on November 11 in Como, Mississippi, when a man and his family came across two hungry ostriches. 

It shows the man feeding the two birds outside his car window and one of them snatches his finger instead of food. The man can be seen offering an open bag of food to the two ostriches outside his car.

The hungry ostriches dig in very quickly as the man says 'I think you are being a little aggressive right now'. 

Eventually one of the birds accidentally bits his finger instead of the food, and as a result the man spills animal feed all over the car.

He exclaims 'Ow' in pain and tries to avoid the two birds who are still outside the window, waiting to get more food. 

The bird then sticks its head in the window, in a bid to get some more food. 

He said: 'I was feeding two aggressive ostriches as my family looked on and laughed. 

'The ending is me spilling animal feed after one of the ostriches bit my finger.'  

Safari Wild Animal Park is home to many wild African animals, including ostriches, the visitors can see and feed from their own car. 

The ostrich is the largest bird in the world and although it can't fly, it is an avid runner. They can sprint up to 43 miles an hour and run over distance at 31 miles an hour.

One of them recently tried to prove its skills by joining  a group of cyclists during a bike race at Cape Point Nature Park in South Africa. 

Although an ostrich bite can be incredibly painful, the bird's strong two-toed legs are far more dangerous as they can deliver deadly kicks to potential predators like a human or a lion.
