Editing Common ostrich (section)

===Attacks===
Common ostriches typically avoid humans in the wild, since they correctly assess humans as potential predators. If approached, they often run away, but sometimes ostriches can be very aggressive when threatened, especially if cornered, and may also attack if they feel the need to defend their territories or offspring. Similar behaviors are noted in captive or domesticated common ostriches, which retain the same natural instincts and can occasionally respond aggressively to stress. When attacking a person, common ostriches deliver slashing kicks with their powerful feet, armed with long claws, with which they can [[Disembowelment|disembowel]] or kill a person with a single blow.<ref>{{cite book|author=Coyne, Jerry A. |title=Why Evolution Is True |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XK31XqoKJKoC&pg=PT76 |year=2010 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-0-14-311664-6 |pages=76–}}</ref> In one study of common ostrich attacks, it was estimated that two to three attacks that result in serious injury or death occur each year in the area of [[Oudtshoorn]], South Africa, where a large number of common ostrich farms are set next to both feral and wild common ostrich populations, making them statistically, the world's most dangerous bird.<ref name="Wood"/><ref name = "OstrichTrauma"/>
