Con: they can disembowel you with one kick from their four inch talons.

The world’s heaviest ankle weights might be helpful.

I can’t think of any “pros” to having ostriches, though I’m eagerly awaiting the other answers here.
Maybe convincing a drunk buddy that if they can hop on, they’ll let you ride them?

Pros… They taste great.
You will hate them so there will be smiling while killing the SOB and eating it.
Emu might be easier. I have constant predator problems and keep thinking I need bigger birds that eagles, hawks, and owls can’t carry off…

Pro: no one would be sneaking onto your property and getting away with it.
Pro: you will soon know exactly where any weaknesses in your fence are.

Angry dinosaur birds that will hate you and can kill you. Get a bunch.

The running bamboo and mint of the livestock world, great companions with Guinea fowl.

When i lived in virginia beach there was a farm in pungo that was raising some. Nobody seemed to know this until one escaped running around early in the morning scaring the shit out of people.

Hahaha I think I told my husband we should get emus or ostriches a few weeks ago… He reminded me that Australia had a whole war against them 😂. I think that was his way of saying no…

Dinosaurs, except dumber and more aggressive. Can rarely bond with people if they were hand raised from chicks. My personal philosophy is to avoid anything that can disembowel you in an instant. Meat is apparently delicious, the eggs are…a novelty. But maybe a novelty that other people will pay for.
Good luck running away after they see you snatching their eggs lol
