Gaylord The Ostrich

Timothy McKevitt has been sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for killing an ostrich in San Mateo County. He will also have to pay $5,000 in restitution for killing Gaylord the ostrich.

Authorities say McKevitt and his friend Jonathan Porter and a few others were drinking on Halloween last year and decided to trespass on a ranch.

Gaylord the ostrich apparently grew incensed and attacked and injured both men.

Porter and McKevitt later returned to the ranch with a rifle and shotgun and killed Gaylord.
