Now that you mention ostriches.... there was someone in the village
in wot i live had ostriches in their front garden. It was most
disconcerting to be walking along the narrow path and then see an
ostrich head peering out of the hedge at you...

And they are even more efficient than chickens at destroying a lawn...

Horses do a pretty good job, too.
I woke up one morning to find two horses which had somehow escaped from
a stables about 1/4 mile away.
I called the po-lice, who guessed where they were from, and then went
and talked to the horses until a couple of girls in jodhpurs arrived.

They left 'oofprints several inches deep, and the trouble with horses is
that they don't even graze the grass evenly like sheep, but leave
clumps.
