Ostrich is an exotic bird species in the Indian landscape, which is mostly found in closed enclosures like zoo. Spotting one on a bustling city street is unique and hilarious as it amaases both confusion and laughter.
The video was originally shared on Instagram that went viral, sparking a frenzy of amused reactions online.
In the video, the bird is seen running on the concrete road, and a man is seen directing the confused bird, as if leading it through.
One of the users was quick to react, ' feels like a scene straight out of Jumanji!'
Another commented, 'Just Kerala things – elephants in the temple, ostriches on the street.'

Aamir Khan's 'six to seven films flopped in a row' — Here's how he overcame early failures to build a $770 million fortune
Aamir Khan may be seen today as one of Indian cinema's most respected and bankable stars, but his journey to success was not easy. Decades before he was known as Bollywood's 'Mr. Perfectionist', Aamir struggled to survive in the industry and was even called a 'flop actor' early in his career. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, what happened next was a dramatic change, and now his net worth is an incredible $770 million, making him one of the world's richest actors. How a Last-Minute Casting Decision Changed Everything The turning point came with the 1990 romantic drama 'Dil', where Aamir starred opposite Madhuri Dixit. Interestingly, this film happened only because director Indra Kumar could not get dates from his regular actor, Anil Kapoor. As actor Adi Irani once shared in a chat on Filmymantra Media, Anil suggested Indra direct a small film in the meantime, which led to 'Dil'. At that time, Madhuri was also struggling, as several of her films were not doing well or were being stopped halfway. What was meant to be a small project became a huge hit, giving new life to both Aamir's and Madhuri's careers. The media's doubts quickly disappeared as Aamir started to prove himself with a series of successful films. A Legacy Built on Fearless Choices After 'Dil', Aamir Khan's career took off as he chose a mix of big commercial hits and films with important social messages. With landmark films like 'Raja Hindustani', 'Lagaan', 'Rang De Basanti', 'Taare Zameen Par', '3 Idiots', 'PK', and 'Dangal', he showed himself to be an actor who was not afraid to take risks or challenge the usual way of doing things. Today, as reported by News 18, Aamir's estimated fortune is more than $770 million (around Rs. 6,000 crore), making him not just a giant in Indian cinema but also a globally known figure. From being called a failed actor to earning international respect, Aamir Khan's journey is a powerful example of resilience, reinvention, and strong self-belief.
