200'000 years ago Horses were kinda pony sized... we upscaled them through breeding to be our mightiest service mount

Ostrich are alllll natural, imagine what 200'000 years of breeding could have turned them into

Probably nothing, because birds don't really benefit from larger size adaptation under normal conditions, and humans would have had no real reason to domesticate them to breed for those specific traits.

It also doesn't help that there's a very narrow band of animals on Earth that can be realistically domesticated in the first place (there's a reason why only a few dozen species out of the millions we've encountered have ever really been domesticated, and most of those were domesticated thousands of years ago), and ostriches don't really fall into that category.

We have genetic modification now. We could just make a really muscular ostrich

I cannot think of any other way but Tjoo-koo-boo (long o's as in boat.) Never thought of using the sound as in book, which just sounds silly imagining it now for the first time.
