Ostriches at the farm are raised in an environment that mimics their natural savanna conditions to accommodate the regional climate.
The farm provides opportunities to observe the distinct social behaviors and hierarchy structures of ostrich flocks.
Eggs produced at the facility are significantly larger than domestic poultry eggs, often weighing over 1.5 kilograms.
Straus Park Land is a specialized ostrich farm and recreation park located on the outskirts of the Kryvyi Rih urban area. The facility serves as a petting zoo and educational site, focusing on the husbandry and exhibition of African ostriches. Visitors can observe these large flightless birds at close range within fenced enclosures. The park grounds include open-air spaces for walking and recreational areas designed for families. It operates as an agri-tourism destination, bridging animal observation with leisure activities in a rural setting.
The main viewing perimeter along the primary ostrich enclosure, where the birds frequently approach the fence line.
Wear closed-toe, comfortable footwear suitable for walking on unpaved, dusty, or potentially muddy ground.
Keep a safe distance from the fences, as ostriches are curious and can be quick to peck at dangling items like jewelry or camera straps.
Bring sun protection, as the enclosure areas offer very limited natural shade.
Do not reach fingers or hands through the fencing, as ostriches have powerful bites and sharp beaks.
Operations are highly dependent on favorable weather; verify social media status before departure during off-season or rainy months.
Do not feed the ostriches unauthorized food, as it can cause serious digestive issues for the birds. Keep voices moderate to avoid startling the animals.
