A farm in Canada saw its flock of roughly 20 ostriches escape into the city while police attempted to capture them.
The ostriches were on the loose in Taber, Canada, as of Thursday, according to the Taber Police Service. Its regional Community Standards Unit was also involved in the birds' attempted capture, but per a video shared on Twitter, the officers appear unprepared, grabbing for the birds with their hands upon approach."The group made their way out of town where they created traffic hazards," the department wrote on Facebook.
