“What do you do with a dead ostrich?” — it’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves. Dutch artist Bart Jansen has the answer: you stuff it, fix it with four propellers, and turn it into an ‘OstrichCopter’.

Jansen, oddly, has previous experience with this kinda thing: last year, he stuffed his dead pet cat Orville after it had been run over by a car, and turned it into a helicopter, too.

“I thought it was really funny to make fly a bird that can’t fly,” he told Wired.

Geez, there’s that European humour for you.
