are they friendly?

im just curious if you hand raise a Ostrich would it be firendly or mean?
are emus or rheas friendly?
and what is a rhea?
as you can see i know nothing about these birds

I can speak only for emu, as I've not had the others. If you get them as chicks, they can be very very tame. They like to interact with you and be part of your flock.

and can they imprint on humans like geese and ducks can?

My one male Jazzy who was a few weeks old when I got him, is very attached to us. i can pet him and he follows me everywhere and always wants to see what I'm up too. He also gets jealous.

I hatched out a girl named Lucy about two months ago. She Follows me every where and loves to play and cuddle!

Hope that helps
