Giving pebbles to ostriches in the trough.

This video shows a group of ostriches eagerly feeding on a line of gravel or small stones laid out in a long, shallow blue and brown trough. The ostriches can be seen stretching their necks to quickly peck and ingest the small rocks.

In the wild, ostriches and other flightless birds swallow stones (called gastroliths) to help grind food in their gizzards, an essential part of their digestive process. This footage highlights the farm practice of providing these necessary stones in a dedicated feeding channel.
