Ostrich on a side quest: runaway big bird sprints on Thai highwayBANGKOK, Thailand — A pet ostrich went for a speedy jaunt down a busy Thai highway on Tuesday, before being returned safe and sound to its enclosure at an animal-themed cafe. "At first, I thought it was an accident but when I drove close, I saw an ostrich running in the middle lane," he said. The ostrich "looked afraid and panicked," Chairat said, adding that he tried to make it move to the left lane, where it eventually stopped running. The man who later caught B1 contacted Itsara, who drove to a neighboring province to pick up his pet. RELATED: Trespasser caught in viral hippo Moo Deng's Thai zoo pen
