TL;DR
Keep a safe distance from ostriches that roam freely in an enclosure, as a frightened bird may react unpredictably. Small house lizards are generally harmless, avoid people, and help reduce cockroaches indoors.
If an ostrich is roaming freely in an enclosure, do not try to touch it or get very close for photos. It may not be continuously controlled by staff, and a frightened ostrich can react suddenly and unpredictably.
Keep your distance from an ostrich and avoid sudden movements, especially if the bird looks alert or frightened.
A small lizard in your accommodation is usually harmless. Gently wave it away if needed; it normally avoids people and eats small insects, including cockroaches.
