Watch: Randburg SPCA warns of an ostrich on the loose
Randburg SPCA is appealing to people to help them locate the large bird.
The Randburg SPCA was alerted of an ostrich that had been located around William Nicol in the early hours of the morning on July 28.
Randburg SPCA inspector Bradley Hughes shared that the ostrich had not been located yet but was last seen on the N14 highway, Krugersdorp.
“When we got to the first location sent to us we didn’t find anything. We went around the N1 highway off-ramp from Malibongwe Drive.”
He presumed that the large bird may be further away from the stipulated locations.
He added that they did not know where the ostrich had come from.
“This search is the first of its kind; it is quite unusual for us to be alerted on an ostrich that has escaped.”
Hughes appealed to the people to continue to take videos and pictures and be on the lookout as this helped them in their search for the ostrich.
