         Re:  Registration  Statement on Form S-8 Relating to 335,000  Shares of
         Common  Stock,  par value $.001 per share,  of Northern  Ostrich  Corp.
         issuable under its 2003 Stock Option Plan

Gentlemen:

         We are counsel to Northern  Ostrich  Corp., a Nevada  corporation  (the
"Company"), in connection with the filing by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  pursuant to the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended (the
"Securities  Act"), of a registration  statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration
Statement")  relating to 335,000 shares (the  "Shares") of the Company's  common
stock,  par value  $.001 per  share  (the  "Common  Stock"),  issuable  upon the
exercise of options granted, as well as stock options to be granted, pursuant to
the Company's 2003 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

         We have examined and are familiar with  originals or copies,  certified
or  otherwise  identified  to our  satisfaction,  of the  Restated  Articles  of
Incorporation  and By-Laws of the Company,  as each is currently in effect,  the
Registration  Statement,  the Plan, resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Company  relating to the adoption of the Plan and the proposed  registration and
issuance of the Shares and such other corporate  documents and records and other
certificates,  and we have made  such  investigations  of law as we have  deemed
necessary or appropriate in order to render the opinions hereinafter set forth.

         In our examination,  we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the legal capacity of all natural  persons,  the  authenticity  of all documents
submitted  to us as  originals,  the  conformity  to original  documents  of all
documents  submitted to us as copies,  the authenticity of the originals of such
latter  documents  and the  accuracy  and  completeness  of all  public  records
reviewed.  As to any facts material to the opinions  expressed herein which were
not  independently  established or verified,  we have relied upon statements and
representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares to be issued upon  exercise of any options duly  granted  pursuant to the
terms of the Plan have been duly and  validly  authorized  and,  when the Shares
have been  paid for in  accordance  with the terms of the Plan and  certificates
therefore  have been duly executed and  delivered,  such Shares will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         We hereby  consent to the  filing of this  opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement.


                                                               Very truly yours,

                                                               /s/ David Lubin
                                                               David Lubin
