Two Australian ostriches walking through the streets of Venice: it happened today near the Ponte delle Guglie, not far from the railway station. The municipal police, after being alerted by dozens of phone calls from residents asking for accounts of the 'guests' crossed in the street, fined the two owners for obstructing the circulation and violation of the animal hygiene regulations. The urban daspo has also been applied to the two people, of Slovenian origin and belonging to a circus that is located in San Donà di Piave. Investigations are underway by Trenitalia to understand how ostriches are transported by train.
The two Australian ostriches were reportedly brought to the historic center to promote a circus show. Among the dozens of videos posted on Facebook after the unscheduled 'walk' of the two birds in the historic center, there are some that immortalize them along the corridor of a regional train.
