TL;DR Summary

A photograph from 1930 reveals the contents found in the stomach of a zoo ostrich, including handkerchiefs, a glove, a length of rope, assorted coins, tacks, staples, hooks, and a four-inch nail. These items were likely left behind by visitors to the zoo, reflecting the sad consequences of the bird's urban existence. The nail was determined to be the cause of the ostrich's death. The photograph was taken by Frederick William Bond, a photographer at the Zoological Society of London.
