How to Blow Out an Ostrich Egg.
This video shows a method of emptying the contents of an Ostrich egg so that it can be displayed or carved or whatever you wish.
To all the people out there who think that this is killing an Ostrich, here is a lesson for you; Female Birds lay eggs even when no male is present. For an egg to turn into a bird it has to be fertilised by a male. The eggs in this video are not fertile, they will never turn into an ostrich, just like the chicken eggs you buy from the supermarket will never turn into a chicken.

Good tips and video - especially the straw. I didn't have drill handy so used a hammer (gently) and found it was easy, safe and made an almost perfect 12mm circle

I drill 1 hole, and use a small diameter hose and compressed air. Try to go in between the membrane and shell, small puffs of air will force the egg out the one opening.

I think I just bought one of these from an antique shop. It was hidden beneath a bunch of old military uniforms...

Hi There...I have a 6month Ostrich egg....will I still be able to blow it?...…..or is it ok to keep as it is for as an ornament?

@CockatielCompanion 4 года назад

They usually smell pretty bad at that age. Is it liquid sounding when you shake it.

@@CockatielCompanion Hi There...thanks for your reply.....my daughter was given this egg during a work experience at a zoo. She asked me to blow it at the time but I didn't get round to it. I have just shaken it like you suggested …. sounds like there is something rubbery inside (gone hard I think)…. I am worried that something weird might happen to the shell if I just leave it. I would be very grateful for your advice.....many thanks

How long will the Ostrich egg shell last

@CockatielCompanion 3 года назад

Once it is blown out it will last indefinitely.

Artists in South Africa paint and decorate them with elaborate colors and other materials and sell them for thousands of dollars. They do look beautiful but I would be too afraid I would end up breaking it, even if I had the money to purchase one.

@CockatielCompanion 3 года назад

They are very strong.

how does it taste ?

@CockatielCompanion 9 лет назад

jabri mahmod A bit sulphury and rubbery. Not recommended.

@@CockatielCompanion That’s weird. When I traveled to South Africa, they gave the group I was with what they claimed was an ostrich egg for breakfast. It didn’t look red like that and it tasted just like a regular egg. We also ate ostrich meat at a restaurant which, oddly enough, looked and tasted like steak (not chicken, as most people would probably imagine).
