THIS is the moment Boris Johnson is attacked by an ostrich as he shouts “f****** hell!”
The former PM was filmed by wife Carrie apparently preparing to feed the big bird through his car window before it suddenly leans in and bites, causing him to jerk backwards.

The hilarious incident, which appears to have been filmed at a wildlife park, sends the Johnsons’ four-year-old son Wilfred into hysterics.
The family are currently holidaying in Texas, US.
The little boy seems to be encouraging his dad, sitting in the driver’s seat, to offer out his hand and feed the bird as it approaches the car.
But it quickly lunges its head through the open window, causing Boris to say: “Cripes! Oh, f****** hell!”
Carrie shared the clip on her Instagram page on Sunday night.
She wrote: “Too funny not to share” alongside a laughing emoji.
One commenter said: “I can’t stop laughing.”
Another added: “I’ve got to admit, I’ve watched this over and over.”
A third said: “Boris is so funny, bet you never stop laughing in daily life.”
Over the weekend, Boris is reported to have eaten at Stumpy’s grill restaurant in Granbury, which specialises in fish tacos. He was pictured outside.
Boris has become known for his baffoonish blunders over the years, particularly during his time as Mayor of London and then in Downing Street.
But he has generally been able to lean into the embarrassment for his own benefit.
While mayor, he got stuck on a zipwire holding a pair of Union Jack flags as he marked Team GB‘s first gold medal at the capital’s 2012 Olympic Games.
On another occasion, he knocked over a 10-year-old boy as he rushed to score a rugby try during a trade mission to Tokyo, Japan, in 2015.
In 2017, while Foreign Secretary, he was accused of “incredible insensitivity” after reciting part of a colonial-era Rudyard Kipling poem in front of dignitaries in the Shwedagon Pagoda, the most sacred Buddhist site in Yangon, Myanmar.
In 2019, while Prime Minister, he hid inside an industrial fridge at a dairy to avoid ITV cameras, with Piers Morgan waiting to grill him live on Good Morning Britain.
After being pushed out of office, Boris was filmed inside a moving car without a seatbelt as he recorded a message encouraging people to vote for the Conservatives in the local elections.
