 What's up guys take down here back with a nether weekly episode of story time today is episode 17 It's going to be a funny one as the title might make you laugh and it's 100 true like always with my series It is the first week of may it's getting close to my birthday may 13th, please um so many birthday wishes Makes me feel good about myself, but anyways, let's get into this video So as the title suggests I was bit by an ostrich. So let's talk about that Back when I was really young We used to go to Zoos all the time. There's one zoo in Quebec park safari And then the Toronto zoo and there might be a few other small ones, but I don't remember them I can't remember where this one was something tells me it was park safari Actually, yeah, it has to be for park safari because they've changed over the years, but Before I start with and tell the story that how I was bit by an ostrich. I will say When I was young You used to be able to go to a zoo and used to bring things like marshmallows popcorn crackers Stuff to feed the animals You're literally allowed to throw into the animals whether they're in their cage their exhibit like you'd be up here and you'd throw it down to them or One of the animals would be walking around your vehicle and you'd be driving through the little part You used to be able to feed them whatever you want Nowadays, you're not allowed to do it at least I haven't been to the zoo probably 8 to 10 years The last time I was there you weren't allowed to give them food I remember dad threw a marshmallow down to them once and they came security came up and said yo Yo, do that again. You're kicked out of here because the animals are on strict diets And I mean I do understand that But they should have enforced it A little bit they should have enforced it at the gate before you came into the zoo not Find somebody doing it and give them a shit I mean we used to do that all the time everybody used to do that all the time in years ago Now you're not allowed to do it and you can get kicked out of the zoo for that um But anyways this happened When I was young I can't remember an age. I probably have pictures somewhere not of me getting bit of the the trip itself um, but what we did was we Excuse me. We did pop popcorn for the trip and then we went hours It was far away. Um, I think my grandfather was here at the time. We did talk to him talk about him in episode 14 Go check that out. That one was a long one a serious one, but this one's funny So he was there and What I don't know if it's still like this at certain zoos or if they just stopped this because it could be really freaking dangerous But especially how some people wouldn't do it and I'll talk to with that too actually in this one But it used to be driving in your vehicle. You'd have a vehicle full of people You know carrots popcorn you you could purchase the food at the place like boxes of their food and give to the animals Um, most people brought their own it was more cost efficient um It used to drive around and there'd be things like camels. They didn't camels um hippos drafts elephants, you know big animals nothing extreme like Rhino because you know you piss rhino off it could smash and destroy your vehicle but the year of this trip though they stopped with um drafts and elephants like really extreme animals because I guess there was an instant where an elephant took a kid out of a car with his trunk Same thing with the draft so it's like oh, we can't have those animals out now So that's why I strongly doubt that places do this anymore Let you drive around the animals But the the used to be a fire thing that was the most popular thing That's the one we enjoyed the most because you're interacting with the animals. It was fun It was it was really really fun great experience. They come up to your car Try to get their head in the car if the windows open Basically looking for food But some people that do it wrong They'd have a van they'd open the back tailgate. They'd let their kids sit there It's like if that animal attacks You can't really floor it out of there because you got vehicles in front of you What are you gonna do the kids are gonna get attacked they're gonna get hurt they could die They could get killed and you can't get back to them and help them at time So it's like don't open the tailgate and have your kids just stay with the food like you want the food And expect them not something not to go wrong But anyways, let's get back into the video. So I just went a little bit off topic there, which I tend to do So I was young Rolled the window down. There was an ostrich at it I was scared. I was like, okay, let's feed it And instead of taking popcorn like they never tell you how to feed the animals You just have to assume they're wild animals like they're in a zoo But I mean they're not your typical animal you have especially here in Canada So I had popcorn and instead of putting it on my palm and like here you go I had it somehow. I had the popcorn. I'm like here you go and I had it just in my fingers Definitely the wrong thing to do because it bit Hurt and I was bleeding But I was like this here you go with the popcorn And it just Head in the window and just went boom like that. I was bleeding out of like the side of my nail Pouring blood I'm bawling my eyes out. Meanwhile, everybody in the vehicle thought it was funny But I hated I was terrified. I didn't want to see another freaking animal the rest of the day But that was actually really quick. So I'm glad I had the other stuff to talk about in this one But I was bit by an ostrich. I was terrified and like I'm not anymore. I mean it's it's it's Bird I'll take it down. But Yeah, I was bit by an ostrich So I decided to make this story time video because it's something happened to me in the past It's a memory and I wanted to keep it So I will leave the story time here Let me know if you've had any past experiences in zoos that something went wrong Something went away. You didn't want it to or expect it to or didn't think it would Leave that in the comments below give this video a thumbs up subscribe if you are not subscribed And as always I will see you guys in the next video.
