    Are there any pure ostrich subspecies in captivity in Europe, either in public or private collection? Or are they just an unknown mix.
    Thanks :)

    Zootierliste is the place you need to go to check all species listings in Europe. Here is the link to the ostrich listings: ZootierlisteHomepage

    There are apparently three pure subspecies on display in Europe.
