It would see kind of random but back in the day ostriches were raised there in large numbers to harvest their feathers for women’s hats.

An ostrich “tycoon” told me that the US ostrich trade dwindled away due to the invention/popularity of the automobile. Women could no longer sport huge plumes so the hat market disappeared.
