Beginning in the 1880s, ostrich farms became “a thing” – almost like tourist attractions. People would come and visit an ostrich farm the way tourists to Florida might visit an alligator farm. So this photo taken some time in the 1920s might not have been the what-the-heck-is-that head-turner that it would be today. The driver of this ostrich-drawn cart is getting a traffic ticket on Pico Blvd near Harvard Blvd, and I must say, he doesn’t seem too perturbed. He’s from the Los Angeles Ostrich Farm, which was at 3609 Mission Road, across from what is now called Lincoln Park, east of downtown LA.a
