'Fucking hell!' Boris Johnson shrieks as he's attacked by an ostrich (www.express.co.uk)

Boris Johnson got a shock when an ostrich attacked him on a day out with his family. Hilarious video shows the former prime minister and one of his children admiring the large, flightless bird from the apparent safety of a car.

The feathered giant can be seen striding up to the vehicle as Mr Johnson and the youngster look on with the driver's side window wide open. Mr Johnson appears to describe the ostrich as being "very naughty" as the creature gets closer and closer. Then as it peers into the car, the bird lashes out with a sharp peck at the ex-PM, to which a shocked Mr Johnson cries out in front of his giggling child: "Christ! F****** hell!"

I'm going to simply assume the reason this video was released was because he loves the attention.

It's because he distracts from the shitty things he stands for by being a silly little guy who wears mismatched slippers and forgets to tuck in his shirt

He released it because it's totally on brand for the character he plays for the public

The ostrich was approached for comment but had not replied at the time of going to press. Probably still traumatised.

That, or bearing one of his children already.

Probably both.

He's in a left-hand drive car, so it's not the UK. Where is this?

Hmm. Apparently Texas.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson received a memorable welcome from an ostrich at a state park in Texas when the towering two-legged bird gave him a peck, according to a video Sunday.

It is not clear which wildlife park they were visiting, but other posts on the same account show the family visiting Dinosaur Valley Park, about 80 miles (128 kilometers) southwest of Dallas.
