What was meant to be a relaxing day out at a wildlife park took an unexpectedly hilarious turn for Boris Johnson and his family. The former UK Prime Minister found himself in a laugh-out-loud moment when an overly curious ostrich got a little too close for comfort.
The video shows Boris slowly navigating the car through the park, seemingly enjoying the up-close animal encounters. His young kid sat on his lap, taking in the scene with wide-eyed curiosity—until things took a wild turn.
Out of nowhere, an ostrich poked its head right into the car window and gave Boris a peck on his hand, prompting an instinctive “Ow!” from him. His toddler burst into uncontrollable giggles, amused by the unexpected moment.
Startled but laughing, Boris quickly drove away, trying to recover from his surprise feathered foe. Carrie Johnson, his wife, couldn’t resist sharing the clip on Instagram, captioning it “too funny not to share.”

The video quickly went viral, racking up over 300,000 views and more than 7,000 likes. Instagram users flooded the post with reactions. One wrote, “I’ve got to admit I’ve watched this over & over! …. The kids giggles tho.” Another said, “How hilariously funny is Boris with the kids,” while a third commented, “Omg this is exactly what I needed this morning, too funny.”
A fourth user wrote, “I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched this and it cracks me up every time, so so funny.”
The Johnson family—Boris, Carrie, and their three children, Wilfred, Romy, and Frank—are currently enjoying a vacation in the United States of America.
