This habit has induced some writers to assert that the animal could digest iron. The pieces of metal found in the Ostrich's stomach, have, in some instances, appeared not to have been worn, as if by trituration with other hard bodies, but to have been eaten or corroded by some juice, as is evident from the inequality of the hollows or cleft produced by that juice.

...n 1804, an Ostrich was brought to New York from the Cape of Good Hope, and died on the first of June following. On the 19th of May, this animal swallowed a small cotton handkerchief : and it picked up, and swallowed, every day, a considerable quanti- ty of gravel, besides many pieces of china, queen's ware, glass, broken nails, and all kinds of metallic substances which it could find, of such size as to be admitted into its stomach. Its usual food was bread, potatoes, corn, and grass, which it continued to eat in great quantity during the first eight days after it had swallowed the handkerchief; but, in the beginning of the second week, it lost its appetite ; and it was con- sidered necessary to cram it, in order to keep it alive.
