Took the kids to Sydney Zoo last weekend

A fabulous close up, they are such cute animals.

[summerfield]

oh, we went to the hairdresser, didn't we?

[Erin R]

He’s giving you a cute smile

[Babs]

Ha ha don't trust him.

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful, he is pretending to be innocent....

[aikiuser (jenn)]

A face only a mother would love! ...although I gotta admit, I kinda do too.

[Casablanca]

She looks so coiffeured!

[Gerasimos Georg.]

wow is this an australian cassowary?

[Kathy A]

@gerry13 no this is an Australian emu. Both the emu and the cassowary are flightless birds and are around the same size but the cassowary has a grey sort of helmet on its head called a casques, a blue face and neck and red wattles dangling from its throat

[Mags]

Such a cool looking bird!

[Fisher Family]

A nice shot - but he is certainly watching you!

[Judith Greenwood]

Great shot - evolution does some amazing things.

[Gerasimos Georg.]

@kjarn never heard of them
Thank you!
Interesting info and nice portrait of it

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice portrait- this one likes posing for you.

[Kathy]

You guys have some interesting critters in Australia. How dull the rest of the world must seem to you. Nice capture of this curious bird.

[Kathy A]

@randystreat not at all Kathy, I think every country has interesting wildlife to those of us that have never seen them

[Carole Sandford]

Great shot!

[Jacqueline]

Love the details on those feathers!

[Jennie B.]

Are these emus in cages? Looks like you were right next to him.

[Kathy A]

@jb030958 no cages, they just wander around the place
