In the video, Johnson is seen reacting in pain after the ostrich extends its neck into their car and pecks at him—likely on the hand. Carrie can be heard laughing in the background while filming the scene. She captioned the video: "too funny not to share."

Family Trip Takes a Comedic Turn

The Johnson family—Boris, Carrie, and their three children, Wilfred, Romy, and Frank—are currently vacationing in the United States. The video shows the family feeding animals, including deer, from their car windows before the unexpected ostrich encounter. Carrie later wrote: “It was all going so well until…”

Boris Johnson is heard in the video exclaiming: “Cripes! Oh, fucking hell,” in response to the surprise attack by the bird.
