Yes and no - my local meat & sausage shop (Corralitos Market) makes ostrich
sausage - it's quite tasty & I didn't find a problem when cooking it the
same as the rest of the sausages I buy there

IIRC, Ostrich is a fairly lean (low fat) meat, and I worry that this
recipe will not work out very well as sausage in the traditional
sense.
Most sausages have a fairly high fat content that keeps them
somewhat
tender when cooked. These may turn very hard when cooked,
especially
if over cooked.
Just an opinion, from a person that has never made sausage, but has
eaten too many. These lowfat meats must not be over cooked from
what
I've read.
