[Comfort behavior of the African ostrich (Struthio camelus)].
Comfort behaviour of ostriches exists in care of plumage and sand bathing. Both are essential for the animals. 120 animals were observed in this respect. Some remarks concern the chances of ostrich production in central Europe. Care of plumage will be possible here. Special devices must be constructed to allow sand bathing of the animals at every season.
