Boris Johnson was attacked by an ostrich during a vacation with his wife and three kids in Texas. According to a video shared by the former prime minister’s wife Carrie, it happened while they were driving through a safari park where visitors can feed the animals. Johnson, 60, was sitting in the driver’s seat apparently about to feed the ostrich when the bird leaned its head in the car window and pecked his hand. “Oh cripes, f---ing hell!” he exclaimed as he jerked away. The rest of the family can be heard laughing. The couple share Wilfred, 4, Romy, 3, and Frank, 1. Other photos in Carrie’s Instagram stories show the family feeding deer and goats out the car windows. “Was all going so well…” she captioned the ostrich video before adding it to her grid.
