Contrary to popular belief ostriches don’t bury their heads in the sand; they just bend their heads and neck to the ground so their body looks like a bush when danger is around. And you’ll also want to bend your neck, not for danger but just to admire your Oliver Sweeney’s spectator shoe of ivory ostrich leather and tan calf leather.
