Thank you all for such a tremendous response to our ‘Name the Ostrich’ contest.  We have received so many wonderful suggestions, that it’s made it virtually impossible for us to decide the winner.  We did, however, narrow the selection down to 5 choices, and this is where we need your help.

Please vote for your top choice by email or post your vote on our Facebook page or Blog by March 25, 2013 and you will be entered into a draw to win a $25 Tim Hortons Gift Card.

Here are our top 5 contenders:
