Today is “World Ostrich Day.” And according to the Reid Park Zoo,<\/a> the “second of February (2\/2) was chosen to celebrate these unique birds because they only have two toes per foot!”<\/p>\n

And the other interesting thing about ostriches, is that the whole “bury their head in the sand” thing is a myth<\/a>. And that brings me to my latest two-verse limerick:<\/p>\n
