This is Wub, a female ostrich. Her eye looks like that because her nictitating membrane (third eyelid) has closed while she's pecking.

Sweet baby Jesus Mary and Joseph that is the stuff of nightmares D:
On the other hand, I'd never seen an ostrich tongue. Squishier than I'd expected!

BIrds do that. :-) I don't think I've ever gotten a clear view of the inside of an ostrich's mouth before. Pretty cool. I like the green stripy bit.... And I'd never seen an ostrich tongue either.
(I think I meant that the picture was a bit scary.)

The green stripey bit is some grass she ate!
