Yes and it's an effort..we HAD TO BUILD A solar COOKER and that took 3 hours ( the bird weighed 43 kilo) ..BUT it worked. The bird cooked in 5 hours and was deeeelicious...it can't burn in a SOLAR OVEN,so no need to remove feathers until you serve and they come off much easier and will give the kids something to do while you are drinking FOSTERS ...down under we do thing abit different. You can get free plans for a solar oven cooker free online..www.ask.com

NOPE, I've never even seen a live one, but my research shows this:
We've collected an assortment of healthy ostrich recipes which we hope you enjoy. Feel free to experiment with your own ideas and share them with us. Ostrich can be substituted in most other recipes that call for meat. The secret is NOT to over cook. Because of the lack of fat, the meat cooks quickly, shrinks very little, and will dry out if over cooked.

never tried ostrich, no. But emu is close enough enough right?
Emu tastes better than any other meat I think, plus its way lower in fat, has more protien, and better flavor.. and it doesnt taste like chicken..lol

No, they are more prized for their oil and their skin than for their meat.
