Boris Johnson gets a surprise peck from an ostrich in 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. In the video, posted by his wife Carrie Johnson, an ostrich slowly walks toward a car before poking its head through the driver's seat window where Johnson is sitting with his son on his lap. Once in front of Johnson, the bird quickly pecks its beak toward his hand. 'Oh, Christ,' Johnson yells before driving off in the video. 'Too funny not to share,' Carrie Johnson said in the caption on Instagram. 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. Boris Johnson, who served as prime minister from 2019 to 2022, was also spotted with his wife at a local restaurant in Lake Granbury, Texas, on Sunday, according to the restaurant's Facebook page. 'We are so honored to have him as our guest!!' said Stumpy's Lakeside Grill in a Facebook post with a photo of the former prime minister.

Watch Boris Johnson's ill-fated meeting with feisty ostrich in Texas: 'Too funny'
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently received a less-than-warm welcome while visiting a wildlife park in Texas. In a video shared to Instagram on Monday by Johnson's wife, Carrie Johnson, the politician can be seen sitting in the driver's seat of a car while visiting what appears to be a drive-through wildlife park or safari. In the clip, Johnson and a toddler watch as an ostrich approaches the vehicle, saddling up to the open window. The large bird, maybe feeling a little hangry, responds to the visitors' curiosity by leaning in and giving the former prime minister a feisty peck on the hand. "Oh, cripe!" he exclaims, pulling his hand back from the offending beak. The toddler giggles as Johnson grabs the steering wheel to flee the offending bird, throwing in an expletive on his way out. "Too funny not to share," said the Instagram caption written by his wife. Ostriches can weigh up to 300 pounds and stand over 7 feet tall. While generally not considered aggressive, they may attack humans if threatened or food is involved, according to While the exact location of the park in the video was not shared, several local reports and sightings placed the Johnson family in Texas. On Saturday, Granbury, Texas eatery Stumpy's Lakeside Grill posted a photo of Johnson visiting for a meal. On Monday, Carrie Johnson shared an Instagram story from Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Johnson, who served as prime minister from 2019 until 2022 before resigning due to growing party dissent, is somewhat known for being caught on camera in comical and ridiculous situations. Two oft-referenced incidents include a joke about O.J. Simpson made in front of cameras in 2021 while struggling to put a glove on, and another moment from the same year, he ended up wrestling with his umbrella during the unveiling of a police memorial in London. Other times include when he got stuck on a zipline, when he asked a police officer if he had trouble controlling his K-9's urge to hump people's legs or when Johnson invoked Peppa Pig at a Confederation of British Industry conference.
