As a former chef and having prepared both ostrich and emu dishes, it can be eaten rare or medium, it has very little fat and cooked to much tends to dry it out, and there is no danger from food borne diseases with those meats, it may be a bird but it is more like duck, a darker steak like meat.
We used to treat it like beef, wrapped in pork or veal bacon, or stirfryed and served with a spicy ginger-orange chili sauce, gorund in to burgers, but for that I add a bit of ground pork or pork fat, make a juicy burger or salisbury steak type dish. If your incline to eat your steaks rare this would be the same, it takes aot of seasonin g as I said it is very lean, near were I live there a number emu farms and they use some of the oils produce for cosmetics.

Ostrich is similar in flavour and texture to a very tender beef. As such it can be eaten either well cooked or rare, as you prefer.
I often cook it on a grill, or even on a barbecue. Fried In a pan with a green peppercorn sauce it is also very tasty.
One of the best meats found these days, it is very low on fat and high on protein. Excellent quality meat... and delicious

As long as you know it is quality-raised meat and has been professionally handled, yes you can. And it will be moister & taste better, too!
Before we discovered fire, mankind ate a lot of raw poultry!

Probably not, it's bird (poultry) you never eat any type of bird meat half cooked.
