If you are looking for somewhere different to take the kids one afternoon you could consider Ostrich Wonderland Showfarm, near Semenyih in Selangor.

It’s really a commercial poultry farm whose core business is to raise exotic birds for meat but, as a sideline, it opens its doors to visitors.

Besides ostriches, they farm guinea-fowl, turkeys, chickens and geese.

Conditions for the birds seem pretty good. They have plenty of space to move around – definitely free range rather than battery. The ostriches are kept in large enclosed pens. I wonder whether the Malaysian climate suits them as their natural habitat is usually a lot more arid. I noticed that some of the ostriches had lost their tail feathers, giving them a plucked and oven-ready look!

Apart from the birds there are plenty of puppies roaming freely and they also have ponies, donkeys, rabbits and a couple of monkeys. The monkeys are chained to their perches, which seems unnecessarily cruel.

Admission is RM10 adult and RM5 for kids which is a bit steep but, for that, the owner shows you around his egg-incubators and explains how to rear ostriches.

You can buy frozen ostrich and guinea fowl meat here and maybe even an ostrich egg but you need to have a giant egg-cup if you want to have it boiled!



Ladang burung unta yang dinamakan Ostrich Wonderland ini telah mula beroperasi sejak tahun 2000. Ladang yang menternak burung unta ini bukan sahaja tertumpu pada burung unta tetapi juga beberapa jenis burung yang lain iaitu ayam dan burung merak.

Pengunjung dapat melihat sendiri perkembangan burung unta yang berlainan umur dan saiz yang diasingkan di dalam kandang yang berbeza. Pengunjung juga boleh memberi makanan kepada burung unta ini dan juga menunggang bagi sesiap yang berani.

Kalau ada antara pengunjung yang nak bawa cenderahati sebagai ole-ole boleh dapatkan telur burung unta yang telah ditetas dan dihiaskan dengan pelbagai corak dengan harga yang berpatutan. Harga tiket untuk seorang dewasa ialah RM8 dan kanak-kanak RM5.
