It’s our flightless friend, the ostrich photobomber, who photobombed my giraffe picture a few weeks ago. This time, she was the star subject. I waited for her to turn and catch the sun, no flash, to get every detail of her head and eyes. Ostriches are big birds, close to six feet tall, and share space with even taller giraffes in an area that is all about Africa at the Bronx Zoo
