Well there's stepping outside of your comfort zone, and then there's knowing when you've made the dumbest mistake ever. This I fear is the latter. 😆

Carl is totally capable of reeking havoc and destroying some of the other rescues on the farm. Maybe he won't and we'll be lucky. But Lester is playing with fire. I'm praying that this works out well. But Carl is much more dangerous than anything else on the ranch. And Lester doesn't have a clue what he's doing with this animal.

Is that an ice cream truck?

Oh Exactly lol 😂

That was my thought too. What steps some people take to get rid of mice! 😅😅😅😊

Lester, y ou know geese have to have water to clean out their nostrils. I would think ostriches do as well. Witch chickens, you have to show them the water and push their beak in the water so they know. Maybe you can take a 5 gal bucket out to the fence row and hope Carl knows to drink from it. Fill it to the top! And leave it.

According to Google ONLY..they get moisture from there food and they need very little water but will stop at a water source and drink and bath ..so ..id like to think like any animal when it's thirty itll drink and when hungry eat ..he has been eating so thats good

Good post. Lots of good ideas.

I just love Moo!

But Carl is not a wild ostrich. He was raised by humans since baby. I'm just saying.

They have 8 tummies too

@Nej Bk Agreed.

KATHERINE, everything u said is 100% on point wild or pet ostrich’s need everything u said. My neighbor raised em n they will eat n take advantage of ANYTHING when food is available. Good advice ma’am.

Well I agree with you what you say about the little animals and hopefully lesser will take our concern what we said so and he won't just take it leisurely for bringing a big animal on the farm when he has all these small animals and they were all tame with whatever and then you bring a huge animal big mistake

Good thing you was wrong

Donkeys are bigger than the goats, pigs, dogs and turkeys.

There's nothing the goat can't do. 🙈 Imagine in the back pastures they are discussing about dangerous handling of Carl... while in the barn the baby goats started the tractor which overrolls some chickens and ducks...🙈😁 (sicko)

Singing... you think my tractors sexy!

Exactly 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oh I love this comment and I hope all the world sees it!!!

@@ImaSurvivorSanctuary I hope they all see it as well. I just wanted to let you know that I fully support you and your decisions. Thanks for the reply, have a blessed day.

You're very right, and I'm guilty. We can't help but worry. But, i have full faith in Lester and Jami. ❤

So many wrongs in that comment I don't even know where to start. Many of us know what we are talking about.

I agree Lester knows animals and he’s going to show us all how they get along the way all people should you go Lester ❤️🙏

He looks happy! Ostriches put out their wings and run toward things he isn't happy with.

Why can’t everyone be as complimentary as you Susan. I’ve done more than googled ‘ostrich’ I’ve watched him for four days now and am noticing some amazing characteristics. I feel like google might want to research me when all is said and done with Carl!

@@ImaSurvivorSanctuary I think a lot of people are just worried about the humans and animals. Maybe do more videos than need be about how well Carl is doing. I shared a good video on the fan page. Not all ostrich are mean. Remember, they also thought Pig Trudy wouldn’t make it as well as she has.

@@ImaSurvivorSanctuary yes !!! I understand people have concerns . I dislike how they’re treating y’all like you don’t care about the babies and would put them in danger . Carl was raised with humans and other animals as well. I have watched videos of ostriches living in farms and with other farm animals and they have done just fine ! I will send you guys nothing by positivity Lester ! I know you guys will be successful with Carl as he has already lived in a farm with dogs and other animals :)

@@ImaSurvivorSanctuary you took a risk and I'm happy it is working out! 💕💕💕💕 Don't take the concerns about safety as an attack on you, instead think of how much your animals must be loved by your social media family. It's actually complimentary!

@Nej Bk They DIDN'T know when they brought Carl there. And if we can't care about the animals welfare, what the heck are we doing here?

Exactly! Carl needs to find a new home for the sake of harmony at Ima Surviver Sanctuary. Shame on his previous owner for not doing enough to keep those two ostriches apart. He could have put up another fence line so they couldn't get at each other.

@@suzanneyoung8011 Well thank God Lester is a great human being that saved Carl and respected and valued his life and only a month after you guys responded Carl has shown he belongs!

Exactly 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Niet erbij laten nu ze inverwachting is van een baby bij Carol.

Carl is dangerus for All of the other animals

I am pretty sure Carl could go over that fence if he wants to

Annie could have done great harm to Maggie if she really wanted to. Carlito has a great deal more speed than Annie! The dogs need to be prevented from entering Carlito's pasture!

@@vickieturner8688 I'm not speaking of Maggie or the other dogs that belong there. I am talking about the ones that keep busting in that have killed babies, like Peep. They will see Annie and Carl and turn themselves inside out to get away.

@@shannonkohler5310 Sorry I misunderstood.

If you can get him to walk closer to the fence he would be a great edger.

I was reading that your fences needed to be lined with gravel because they walked the fence like that.

Lol

@@tammiemcwilliams4259 😂🙃

Ostriches don't need water normally if they're given the right vegetation.

@@cristyrawks6325 this isn’t a wild ostrich so just because an animal used that adaptation in the wild doesn’t mean that a domesticated animal shouldn’t have that

@@brysenstrowder5178 Just repeating what research is telling me. 🤷‍♀️ But thanks.

@@dianehicks9068 exactly but depriving him of water just because he can live without lots of it is by definition abuse. That’s like keeping chickens without shelter just because they originated in jungles

@@brysenstrowder5178 not saying that DEPRIVE HIM OF WATER ..just expressing that his species doesn't need alot ..u took that out of context ..never intended to never put water n his pasture ..im not going to argue with u ..he needs water obviously u just need to read what I said and intended

Guess what ostriches are predator's he wouldn harm them u know nothing about ostriches

@@chadwildclayfancwc5753 that’s what I’m saying !!! All of these comments are so. Misguided full of fear instead of support .

Not only the littles can get hurt; Carlito can get hurt as well. We all know how stubborn Lester can be at times and I’m sure he will do what he said he will do, regardless of our comments. 🙃. Let’s all hope for the best.

@@ileanaflorea5020 bruh who tf is carlito also Lester knows what he is doing if Carl wants to be with the littles let him it's not like Lester is forcing him

Read up on Ostrich and their habits and Habitat

Also, just read that Ostriches drink up to 10 liters of water a day, but can go several days with any water at all.

don't do it Lester. We raised these guys and they'll kill any little thing that gets close

I have to put in my $0.10 and I'm glad we're all talking about this as a group. Carl is not a domestic animal. I don't care what anyone says he is a wild animal. It's like raising a lion and saying it's a domestic animals because you raised him from little and you put them with other animals doesn't make him domestic it still makes him a wild animal. An animal is an animal as an animal and you don't know how they're going to react. One thing I do know is that those Talons only take one kick and you're dead. So I would not underestimate Carl and I definitely would not have any child near him. When you go into his pen... don't be Mister Macho Man and say that nothing bad is ever going to happen but you're going to have to have eyes behind your head and walk in his pen with a giant heavy-duty shepherd's hook like your friend because the shepherd hooks are not just used to catch an animal but it is also to protect you from the same animal you're trying to herd. And you know some of the littles have attitudes like mr. Ringo I would hate to see anything happen to him and some of the pigs as well can also have attitude every animal has their day and some days they have good days some days they have bad days so you just going to have to play it by ear and see what happens... But whatever you do don't underestimate that bird because those Claws and those feet can kill a lion!

@@jessicapabon2105 like Trudy is a wild animal? More wild than Carl anyway.

@@shannonkohler5310 yeah but she comes from Heritage of domesticated pigs. She was hand-raised. Carl has not been hand-raised and coddled like Pig Trudy. There's a huge difference. Pigs are extremely smart well ostriches are another story altogether

@@shannonkohler5310 I don't think that you can actually compare the two, that's a ridiculous statement, and you clearly don't have a clue!

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

@@ImaSurvivorSanctuary 😂😂😂

Same here lol

@@chasesmom5287 I had been sitting here refreshing my youtube waiting patiently and got so excited when the notification popped up lol

CONCERNS 🤔🤔🤔🤔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 For Lester and All Littles I really wouldn’t want u to put Carl with the LITTLES AT ALL NOT KNOWING REALLY HOW HE WILL REACT. So Please be extra careful with him.

We are blessed to have you along for the ride

@@ImaSurvivorSanctuary i Hagee been addicted to y'all since the "run Maggie run" video. I love that y'all are down to earth type of people and the fact y'all show everything. The good,the bad, and the ugly. To me that shows y'all are human like everyone else and i absolutely love y'all

Ostriches don't normally drink water if given the right vegetation.

We don't understand you!

Don't be lol Carls was raised around pigs so he's use to smaller animals 🤣

Yes, good idea to support the anxieties around comments😂😂😂
