Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Wild Texas Safari Turns Chaotic After Ostrich Bites His Hand

An ornery ostrich at a Texas wildlife park seemed to love ex-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson a bushel and a peck — the bird lunged through the driver’s-side car window and nipped him hard on the hand.

Johnson, a 60-year-old former mayor of London who served as PM from 2019 to 2022, responded with some colorful language, including “Oh, f****** hell!” as he yanked his hand away from the ostrich while a toddler sitting next to him giggled uncontrollably.

Johnson’s wild encounter at a drive-through Texas safari was recorded on video, and his wife, Carrie Johnson, gleefully posted the clip on Instagram, writing: “Too funny not to share.”

This isn’t the first time the shaggy-haired Tory has been caught on camera in a compromising situation.

In 2021, a video went viral of the bulky buffoon wrestling with a balky umbrella.

Plus, there was the awkward moment at the 2012 Summer Olympics when Johnson was left dangling for several minutes on a malfunctioning zipline above the crowd, with one wag commenting that he looked “like an odd Christmas decoration.”

Ostriches can weigh up to 300 pounds and stand over 7 feet tall, far outclassing the 5-foot-9 Johnson.

They can attack humans over food or when they feel threatened, and deliver a powerful kick with their sharp-clawed feet.
