In the Liberty Mutual insurance commercials an ostrich named Oscar is regularly featured as one of the company’s spokes animals. According to Liberty Mutual the ostrich was chosen because of its “courage under pressure” and “willingness to face challenges.”
But is the ostrich actually real or is it just a computer-generated image (CGI)?
The commercials do not make it clear one way or the other but according to Adweek the ostrich is indeed real. In an interview with Adweek Liberty Mutual’s chief marketing officer Dave Melton said that the company worked with a “very talented trainer” to get the ostrich to appear in the commercials.
So there you have it! The ostrich in the Liberty Mutual commercials is real not CGI.
